I found it a bit telling when I left EWR yesterday on a transcon that only snackboxes were available to first class due to this refrigeration problem, yet somehow they found it acceptable to board regular crew meals to our non-chiller or thermal bag equipped aircraft.
I wonder how long those meals had been sitting in the catering truck parked on the EWR ramp in 90+ degree heat, and then shipped off on our 5+ hour flight...

One of Steven Wolf's ideas. He used that as a contract negotiating tool. He was going to sell the kitchen, TK, and outsource everything that couldn't justify the cost of doing business..

Is that something slipped into the contract? Last I checked there was no dollar limit to the expense allowed per the UPA.

I know it, I was there. It was also the genesis of the ESOP. When it was it was all said and done I got a check from State Street Bank for around 1800 bucks.
