Just think man.... never again will you have to :

run a Flight Attendant to the store for "restock".


No, but a good IRO knows the way to the REWE to stock up on Brats, mustard, and rolls for everyone vs eating the Cologne catering

Vacuum an airplane.

Yup, seems no one has that job

Clean the lav ( please tell me we don't have to clean the lav).


true, we aim to please, so please aim if you know what I mean


(My personal fav) stare out the window at 30W wishing you were in the UPS MD11.

Unless you prefer it to a 76 or 74

Sheesh, who pee'd in your cheerios?

We want anyone that will be a good IPA member and hope that "anything" doesn't include the bus station men's room at the Greyhound station.

Yes!! I'm on it.

Stupid question... are there ovens in the galley to keep food warm? A coffee maker by any chance? Also I assume we are responsible for water or beverages we want to drink while flying.

Thanks.

Yes, ovens for food and hot cups for water for instant coffee.

Coolers on each plane (fridge on MD11) with bottled water, orange/apple juice and V8.

Real coffee maker on the 747. Fridge on the MD. Contractual "selection of juices". Soda/milk on catered flights (menu selected)

What about food?
I'm so used to just going in the terminal and getting something to eat whenever I'm hungry. Not to mention i'm assuming no access to a Starbucks.

Eating is over rated.

Many flights are catered. I don't know the exact rules but crossings have two meals, early domestic flights have breakfast. Afternoon turns have lunch/dinner. It's really not a problem. Other than that, bring your own.

Depends on who you fly with. I have seen a guy carry an espresso machine in his flight bag(only thing there). Others carry grinders and French presses, while others carry grinders and single serve drippers.

However, if you're dying for Starbucks, I've never seen any heartburn domestically on stopping on the way from the hotel to the jet.
