I frequently have food and drink "given" to me by pax. Admittedly, it's a couple of thousand Lollards worth of catering that was untouched and, even, unopened. Wine? Well, it has to be opened, I guess. But, nothing makes a long flight end better than sips of Dom P champers with the crew!

I eat everything.

Seems I clearly recall UAL's FOM specifically forbidding flight crew members from ingesting food from passengers back around late sixties/early seventies.

(Then again, I recall munching on some cookies presented to the cockpit crew by "Dear Abby" immediately prior to that time, too.) LOL

I once accepted and ate two cookies from a girl scout who was traveling with her parents and I never got sick. The DTW Fuddruckers chicken sandwich on the other hand...

When I jumpseat offline, I always grab a bag of Reese's from the airport newsstand for the F/As. Its a gesture that is generally well received.

As a pilot, should you indulge? I'll leave that up to your personal judgment. But, as Mike said, there's so much B.S. in the average airline FOM it waters the eyes.

As of today, hugs, kisses, or handshakes from passengers are a bad idea too.

Go ahead and get sick boss. Stop being so harsh to everyone for Christ sake relax before you need BP Meds.

how fat are you?
