Beware Newark crew meals
 

Apparently, our catering op in EWR has lost some refrigeration capacity over the weekend, so no Business class meals for domestic flights other than PS.

Business on our flight to DEN was stocked with snack boxes.
When I heard this I asked the purser to check on our crew meals.

No dry ice, no thermal bag. Our breakfast was already room temp 20 minutes before push. Had time to run to restaurant and grab breakfast for FO and me.

I will eat both the capts and mine. Yummy.

We've had a lot of issues with catering lately, especially the Denver fiasco. Too bad.

Delta’s kitchens in SLC & LAX arent any better. Oh, the joys of outsourcing!

Thanks for the heads up on this. I’ll definitely go get some OTG Smisek’s Cousin’s food from the terminal!

Worst meals come from the Chelsea Food Wagon owned by United (Continental actually), and they are in EWR IAH and ORD. These are the food service employees trying to unionize.

Classic!!!

Are they needing to unionize in order to put dry ice on the carts like they’re contractually required to?

Just never thought it would take a union to add a 50¢ piece of dry ice to a meal cart.

I didn't mean it in a negative way. Just saying these employees have a lot going on and little support from the company, big surprise right. It wouldn't be too far of stretch if it eventually came out that UAL was directing Chealsea catering to skimp on the dry ice.
