If you are a Capt, you should be buying your FO and FA one meal per trip. Yeah, I just said that....

Not really, FO's at a major make more money than an entire express crew... no doubt, regional capt pay sucks, but FO/FA pay really, I mean really suck. So a couple of Subs at $5/each per trip isn't going to be remembered, except by the FO/FAs. :eek:

Besides, it'll make you a better Capt.

I wondered why hotel room coffee tasted strange. I always thought it was the flight attendants washing their panties in there. Now I know its Carl cooking fish!

Same difference I guess!

Back when I was on probation and also working on Christmas Day, our crew of four went out that night in a 'small' town,in the cold, at the insistence of our Captain to go have a proper dinner and he picked up the tab. I thought it right fine of the skipper and it set a standard that I shan't forget to emulate.

Anybody else put some cheese between 2 slices of bread from the breakfast bar, wrap it up in some aluminum foil and use the iron in the room to make a grilled cheese sandwich? Good to do if you have a latter show.

It's faster with a Nomex glove and the APU exhaust - adds a fresh BBQ smokey flavor that's hard to beat.

I go out to dinner if nothing in my bag entices me at the time, but for the most part that will last all four days and it all fits in the LW crew cooler.

Woah, I'd love to see how you make it work! I'm taking notes as I am about to sell myself to one of the regionals and will therefore be living out a suitcase.
