Default How about an ISL toast to all. 1700 EST

I would propose all of us raise a glass of whatever you want, at 1700
Eastern Standard Time, today, Sept 3. Even if it is a cup of the horrible Joe they serve on our aircraft.

Cheers.

Ok. What's happening then? Something do with SLI? Haven't seen a word when and if it will be released. Missing something?

I did some pass-travel and jumpseat two weeks ago. Coffee on United/Cal Express was just warm, black water. Standard.

Mainline was surprisingly good. Tasted like it did back in 1999/2000.

Jumpseated on DAL on the way home...there's tasted like ours used to, post-Jeff: weak. I was stunned.

Maybe there's hope.....not just the coffee, but the list!

Do we have to wait so long? Lets move it up to say NOW! I'm going fishing. Got better things to do than wait for something I have no control over.

I fly for a large regional that does UAX and I have to say I personally will NEVER drink the coffee again on our airplane or any other regional for that matter. After numerous times of the water smelling like metal I should have known better. Was not until I let a FA throw me a cup of coffee when the potable water system was in op only to discover in the can that it was written up due to failing E Coli test that I refuse to ever drink coffee from the plane again. That $2.00 Americano is well worth it in my book!

CALMEC has to make arrangements for armed protection so they can make it to their cars in the parking lot. Also, it takes time to arrange for security systems to be installed in their houses.

Never understood arbitrary drinking limitations or initators. Breathing alone is reason enough.

Carry on men.
