Crew Meals at the Fractionals - Good, Bad & Ugly

[dash_trash]

The difference is, we don't get grievance money when they screw it up. Now THAT might be a reason to get a union

We don't either ... YET! The companies time is coming, were they will pay dearly for violations of policy/contract.

Stop whining about your meals, those of you who get per diem, plus a meal. What more do you want? A foot massage and a warm towel?

I've been flying corporate and '135 for the past few years and there were times I was so starved I was tempted to kabonk a frac guy over the head to steal his turkey on whole wheat.

Sure the company benefits. But so do you. So quit yer bitchin.

Food is not a benefit, it’s one of you necessities … So your willing to fly when you’re physiologically unfit (starved)? Not me.

I have no problem paying for my meals out of my per diem, but I need a place to spend the money. It was a lot easier flying 121 … you could just run inside the terminal and get a bit to eat. Let me know how that works when you have 1 hour in, say, Greensboro, GA. It doesn't, so hit me with a crew meal, preferably one that is edible.

Not bitc.ing, just stating a fact.

By the way, I'll take the warm towel :laugh:

Please go back to your management hole and let us do the real work of flying planes

I will say this: The crew lunch I got out of Greensboro, GA, a few weeks ago was one of the best ones I've had in a long time! Really tasty. I generally have better luck with the smaller caterers than in our company's "high-volume locations."

I'm just dying to go through Chattanooga again to get their BBQ. Yummmmm....

My point exectly ... were do you eat if you have a short sit and there is not a restaurant on the field. I agree about the smaller places. Personally, San Luis Abispo has been the best for me ... great food, hot FBO girls and always a free shirt or hat.

I second that good food in Greensboro, GA. now, if only Americus, GA could say the same!

You have a union and you have it. And so, we're getting it. The difference is, we don't get grievance money when they screw it up. Now THAT might be a reason to get a union

Well, that and if you had a Union they couldn't force this program down your throat (no pun intended!!). :nuts:
