Mini-Meals come to ASA

[Papa Woody]

When a Company with such a proven history of dicking-over its employees suddenly does something like this, it makes me wonder....

....radioactive tracer chips in the salami?

Did you guys know that Brad is still on the seniority list at Skywest?

 

[~~~^~~~]

Does he hold a slot on the ASA seniority list?

No one's forcing anyone to eat these. If you're hungry and don't want packaged sodium, go inside and get a sandwich.

This is ASA not Emirates. You can't expect Filet Mignon on your way to Mobile, AL.

Or use em as a snack. Who cares.

Not to mention, we have a financial incentive to get every flight out ontime.

Actually we have an incentive to ARRIVE within 14min of scheduled.

If you have to eat the do so.

I agree the FA's will get the heat on this if they delay for a food break since they have no language to protect them.

This is a nice gesture, and hopefully we can tweak it with the survey on the choice of food we have.

ASA PILOTS, this puts money in our pocket if we take advantage.

Greetings..The point is, these snack meals are nutritionally bankrupt. This is only as bandaid fix. They should schedule real meal breaks.

Take care

....as opposed to the nutritional meals you find at BK and Wendys.....

Folks did you read the memo? It stated 90 day trial period. You can even sample the food from 3/14 to 3/21. Then if you don't like it you can tell them you don't like it! What did you think we were going to get Outback to Go, right from the start. Personally I think its a step in the right direction. When was the last time someone in the GO did somthing for the crews? It appears that someone is steering the ship in GO.

...exactly right 701EV....Brad is doing better in this position by far than anyone else and he is steering the ship....some people seem to want to ruin that.....

 

[JoeMerchant]

Not saying it isn't a gesture or a step in the right direction.....but if you think you aren't going to get bitched at by a CP, gate agent, or someone else for going inside and possibly taking a delay vs. eating one of these snacks on a short turn your crazy. It's ASA...it's only a matter of time. I bet you Eva is drafting up a note to the FA's right now

....keep up the complaints and they will take away the snacks.....what will that accomplish?

 

[JoeMerchant]

Or they could just be trying to make a nice gesture. Geez, guys. It is a SNACK. They have never called it a "crew meal". It's to hold you over until you get a break. If you need a real meal, then do what we've always done: inform the gate you're taking a meal break. Our contract still states "ASA will recognize crew nutritional needs during duty periods involving flight operations". NOTHING WITH THAT HAS CHANGED! This is Brad extending the same courtesy to us that SkyWest pilots already get. STOP BITCHING WHEN ASA TRIES TO DO THE RIGHT THING!!! You make us all look bad.

AMEN!

 

[JoeMerchant]

Look, folks, it's free food. Who could complain about that? When was the last time ASA did something we didn't force them to do? Be happy!

Pilots.....

I can't believe we are debating the merits of getting free food. Some people are never happy. This is great and most of us are appreciative.

 

[asayankee]

They're even calling them D-0 mini-meals. Mark my words, this will come back to bite us in the butt as the company "re-interprets" what a crewmembers nutritional needs are.

...the only thing that "will come back to bite us in the butt" is when you whiners succeed and they take the snacks away from us.....will you be happy then asayankee?
