ASA Anyone else RIFing these 1.5L waters?

[Stifler's Mom]

Iced Tea? Drop a couple of tea bags in there....let sit for a few minutes...remove tea bags......sweeten as necessary....dispose of tea bags in garbage.
I prefer the crystal light packets myself...

No thanks, I'll pass. I don't want anybody "tea bagging" my water bottle.

Are we bitching about water bottles now

Miniature Dasani bottles are not cheap. We handed out thousands and thousands a day. It adds up to a lot, and it was wasteful, as much as I liked the mini bottles.

Getting big bottles and serving water in cups is going to save a lot of money. One of these big bottles lasts me an entire trip. It's a hassle carrying it around but that's what the cabin trash bags are for.

Choose your battles wisely.

How bout i trade my water bottle for the girl in your avatar? Now THAT will quench my thirst !

Joe's right. We should be focussing our energy on getting rid of these 4-digit flight numbers!!!!!!!!

 

[79%N1]

AMEN! How many controllers do you hear complianing about those 4 digit numbers each day?!? Who's idea was that?

 

[CutEmUp]

It obviously saves money since all the other airlines do it.

This argument holds no water.

 

[Stifler's Mom]

This argument holds no water.

Very witty. :laugh: :beer:

 

[atlcrjdriver]

I took a swig off a 1/2 bottle that was found on the flight deck.

The next day, I had a large, painful, oozing herpetic pustule on my lower lip.

Don't do it!

Solution: BYOBB or BYOWB

To waste the paper to RIF the water bottle...better things to do:beer:

 

[OPECJet]

USAir's been using those for years. Used them in the cockpit the whole time. Qitcherbitchen.

With the CRJ, those bottles fit in the bar behind the pedestal when turned upside down.

As far as the tea, put in 5 or 6 teabags, leaving the strings hanging out (yeah, I know... sounds awful) and sweeten. Put said bottle on the dashboard for a leg with a paper towel under it since it'll leak just a little. The next leg you'll have the tea.

With the flavor straws, packets, etc... Use two instead of one to flavor the full bottle.

Either way, your complaining about piddly crap like this is laughable. It's not like they're making you pay for it.....

 

[Brasilia Pup]

I thought the bottle was for "Physiological Relief" when the lav is deferred. Sorry about leaving that half-full bottle on the flight deck. Thought I threw it away. Old ATR habits die hard ya know.

Now there ya go, giving Management ideas again!!!!

ICAO mandated it....same organization that brought you the "english proficient" on the pilot's license, METAR/TAF, and the ABC airspace. Why we allow ICAO to dictate things is beyond me....

You do realize that 3/4 of the regional pilots out there don't know what you're talking about...

.....probably more than that...

 

[jeroom]

Can someone explain the iced tea/lemonade thing.

Here @ ASA we drink sweet tea...
That's something that you do when ya come from the dirty south...

 

[CFI2766]

Y'all are just showing your age, now.

(For the record I once read a book that mentioned something about airspace designations other than what we have now. From what I understand, the move was facilitated by the move away from open cockpits... )

...did your read about SAs and FTs? They were much better....we actually had temps in Fahrenheit...

Why do you think I was making it? Never was an ASA guy, but as a PDT guy they kept making me fly up in the smelly north. Had to make my own sweet tea to get a fix up there.

Yeah, showing my age.... I left out the Geritol from that recipe since most of your whipersnappers don't need it yet. Then again ya'll might feel more at home drinking down some Enfamil.

 

[DashTrash400]

Y'all are just showing your age, now.

Heh, I'm 27 and I started flying just early enough to learn all about TCAs, ARSAs, PCA, CZs, SAs, and FTs before the feds went and adopted ICAO. I spent the next few years b!itching about it to fit in with all the old farts around the airport!

 

[Carl_Spackler]

John and Martha King have a good video to explain the airspace transition for those who don't remember.

No you don't.

 

[Caspian27]

No you don't.

Well, not me personally...but a friend of mine...they got-it-on! Woowee!!!

 

[CRJCptn]

back to the real issue

I would think most people are using cups if they are leaving the half-empty bottle. If they are taking tugs off it then they take it with them.

as much as I would like to agree with you, the number of half empty dasani bottles I have found over the years makes me say no to the half emty liters,, sorry....

 

[ERJFO]

Does anyone actually like these things?

Yeah, I like them better than little bottles, I just take one with me all day.

 

[dispatchguy]

The next day, I had a large, painful, oozing herpetic pustule on my lower lip.

You had Johnny O on your lower lip?

I'd get that checked quick dude!

 

[Mesabi Miner]

At Mesaba, if you find a half-full bottle (I'm an optimist), you always give that one to the passengers and get a new one. Also, it's a rule that if you drink out of the bottle, you tear the label off to let the next guy know that there's spit in it.

Now, let's change the topic and dispute the environmental challenges of recycling all those thousands of bottles! They're number 1 recycling code after all!

Pick your bottles wisely!

Just flew in the Delta system for the first time in a few weeks. I agree the new watter bottles are just too HUGE....my captain drank the whole thing in one leg (but did the walk of shame 3 times).
