Just don’t expect DL profit sharing if our cost are higher than theirs.
Profits are low because management sucks ass. Might as well have a nice steak dinner at Company expense since profit sharing is low and monthly bonuses basically going away.

So because the company couldn’t live up to their part of the contract all parties mutually agreed on, a pilot should be limited to the $6 value of said meal? I must have missed that part of the contract that put a value limit on it... please cite.

I don’t eat garbage, and if the company can’t provide the salad meal or lighter choice I asked for, and they agreed to provide, I’m certainly not lowering my own personal standards to go to Burger King because a quality meal is too expensive.

Totally unacceptable on 6 hour transcons or Hawaii flights that we now fly with the fleet. Is it really that hard to comprehend that real food needs to be refrigerated?

So, if you don’t get a picture of the missing chiller, can you still expense it as spoiled and not collect the extra $$$?

I’ve had spoiled, inedible meals that actually were chilled. How do proceed with these?

As a PS, the F/A’s are going to love all of us filling up their expansive galleys insisting on snapping pics of non-existent items.

According to our management, our cost will always be higher to Deltas. The only way we can exceed Delta profits (per UAL management) is to extract maximum revenue from our "superior" hubs and route structure, which they have failed to do so.

Our pathetic WiFi ain’t helping us extract maximum revenue. If you promise a product, you’d better deliver it most of the time.

Like how our guppies flying to Hawaii don’t have WiFi at all?

Huh.... I hope those guppies have superior infotainment to help keep my mind off the fact that my legs have gone numb in the middle seat in the back.

Don't mistake the fact that I do not agree with you with "I don't get it".

I find the noise and energy generated for something easy to do... and that many believe is reasonable... are better spent elsewhere.

Are you regularly having your expenses denied, and is that what is getting you fired up?
