Mini-Meals come to ASA

[Papa Woody]

Now you can be fired for taking a meal break because the planes will be stocked with cheese-n'-crackers for dinner!

 

[79%N1]

Dont forget about Tuna and Salami! Yummmmy!

 

[Lolikoka]

Refrigeration?

How do we propose to keep it cold, otherwise the fruit, salami, and cheese will turn into a science experiment. Especially on the ATR.

I'm sure they are vacuum-packed or something.

And now let all the grumps start complaining about this. This is a good thing guys!

 

[viper548]

I hope you like tuna and jack links beef nuggets

 

[SkyNation]

if they are the same ones we get at SkyWest, it's a snack, not a meal. I actually like the one with salami, cheese, crackers, applesauce and Milano cookies. if you won't have a chance to eat for awhile it'll hold you. on the other hand, if I never see the tuna and hummus pack again it'll be too soon.

 

[rightseatjocky]

I would rather have furbuger, red snapper or something along those lines. I think that the meals are a good thing. It's something we should have had a long time ago. I am wondering how they're going to keep track of the meals.
Heck, with our track record, we will still be last on
D-0.
I have to admit that Brad Holmes is trying to do good things here.. oh that's not his real name, I forgot. haha

 

[Cpt Oveur]

wait until the rampers find out about this.

 

[rightseatjocky]

Laughing, the meals won't make it to the planes. They will be trading the meals on the street for crack.

 

[Texx]

wait until the rampers find out about this.

You won't see them on the first flight of the day from an out station.

 

[Papa Woody]

Can I get a Halal (Arab) meal?

I'll cry foul and call CNN if they're not ethnically sensitive!

 

[Lolikoka]

At least they're trying now

I think this is a good gesture on the part of Brad's new team. It will probably have to be refined a bit to make it work - but at least they're trying. This is a big departure from the company's attitude a few months ago.

 

[regionaltard]

Can I get a Halal (Arab) meal?

You bet. Delivered right to your door.

 

[SkyNation]

I like the red one. the box was different, but this one wasn't bad either.

 

[CheeseDick]

don't forget to check the expiration dates...

 

[CFI2766]

I think that this is a good idea. I hope it works.

 

[WSurf]

Instead of that, why not just do crew meals.

Seems that would be cheaper. If we don't have a 45 minute break on a continous 6 hrs duty time we get a meal.

Seems that would be easier then whats going on there.

 

[Oakum_Boy]

Are these upgraded Monterrey Snacks?

 

[Papa Woody]

We now need some new delay codes, such as:

NMM01: No mini-meals available

NeMM02: Not enough mini-meals

CAH06: Captain allergic to Hummus

FOB08: F/O barfed after eating mini-meal

FART0: Flight attendant flatulent after mini-meal

I am on an alcohol only diet........I'll take one bourbon, one scotch, and one beer.

[Abernathy]

Seems like a step forward. I like it. A lot of flights back from a nap, we're hungry--especially at hotels without free breakfast.

Sounds like a decent plan.

 

[crjskipper]

dont think they are for nap crews in the morning, more like crews without time to go get food on a turn somewhere

I ROFLed :laugh:

 

[OCP]

So again, how are they going to keep these cold?

 

[wmuflyguy]

Probably don't need to be kept cold, they are probably smoked and salted to death...

 

[ifly4food]

Newburgh snacks. They were Newburgh snacks before we even went to MTY.

 

[asayankee]

If theythink this means I'm not going to get off the airplane to get some "real food" they're crazy! If I got to eat, I got to eat.

 

[79%N1]

I'm with you Yankee. I aint eating no Tuna or warm salami. A bag of chips isn't going to satisfy my nutritional requirements if I am hungry and need to eat. Nice try, though.

 

[ifly4food]

I swear, pilots are impossible to please. I could hand you a $20 bill and you'd whine it wasn't crisp enough.

Don't want to eat them? Good, more for the rest of us.

No doubt, jesus folks, give it a shot. Personally, I think it's a welcome addition to the kitchen back there...
