I agree. I realize that some people must make do with the little money they have. Like the FO's at a crap regional that make crap wages. I feel bad for these guys and sometimes wish I could offer them a starbucks without embarassing them.
What always amazes me though are the captains that make over 100 k per year and pack all their food with them because they are too cheap to pay for anything on the road. I will never understand what makes many pilots some of the cheapest people on the face of the earth. Thoughts anyone ?

It's one thing to be cheap. Food on the road is horrible for you. I pack wisely with a big bag because any food at an airport will likely kill me in 35 years. Gluten and dairy free are tough without a lunch bag, in my defense.

I pack all my own food on the road. I train for Ironman/half ironman's and follow a strict diet I eat a lot and don't really want to eat McDonalds, Dunkin donuts, Starbucks, among other things that people eat on the road. I really find no problem in bringing my own food. Id rather save my money so I can travel to races, save for a house, put extra money into a savings account.

Plenty of thoughts. 1. You literally have no Idea what he/she has for monthly expenses. 2. Many he/she has an allergy to food that makes it hard to eat on the food 3. Maybe he/she doesn't want to fall victim to the American Diet. 4. Does it really matter to you if they pack their own food?

In fact, I haven't been to any of those three places in years.

Does an expense card count?
Sorry, that sounded flip, but there is an old career advice about dress/act like what you want to be, not what you are. If you act like a regional pilot that might be your fate. Everyone has the "interview" suit, but you need to practice being the B777 captain you want to be everyday, on and off the jet.
