What are the items that you usually stock? I understand that they can order catering. Does every plane have some basic things? I see you keep talking about candy and alcohol. Also who brings the items or where do you get them for restocking?

I see you keep talking about candy and alcohol.

Hey, I know what I like.

Also who brings the items or where do you get them for restocking?

Snacks, sodas, alcohol, coffee creamers/sugars, etc. We have standard, non-perishable stock items that we pick up from stock lockers, which are placed at places where we fly a lot. If we run out of something critical inbetween passes through the lockers (say, bottled water), we can have a caterer drop them off at our next stop, no-doubt at great expense.

The "standard stuff" varies by plane, since the capacities for that kind of thing vary greatly. The Excel can hold 4 bottles of wine, for example, while I believe the 400XP can hold one. I'm gettin' thirsty now....... :beer:

Had Susan Sarandon take a garbage bag, and clean out ALL of our stock. All you can do is sit back and watch! It's sort of thier stuff, but not really. They only own a fraction of those tootsie rolls!

Thankfully, we only put a fraction of the stuff out. I'm sure your clients like being outed here. Nice work. When was your interview at NJA?

I have to say if you have kids in the back the plane its getting trashd better then any rock band can do. Just write it up and have the cleaners mop up the barf and smashed in candy.

I love the new wave of parenting where the kids run the show.

Tell me about it. The worst trashing I've seen comes from families with kids. One time had a family of 6 get on (4 kids). First thing, the 3-4 yr-old daughter wants some Goldfish. SMASH! Explodes the bag of Goldfish all over the place. The mom starts to pick up a few, so I think, "cool, she'll keep it straight back there." Nope. When they got off, the Goldfish were not only still scattered all over the cabin, but were stomped and ground into the carpet, along with nuts, Jelly Bellies, Pringles, Oreos, and whatever else they could find. Additionally, the 2 teenage sons who were sitting in the back had proceeded to dismantle every sheet of every newspaper on board, and leave them strewn all over the aircraft. Not to mention the spilled juice and writing on the sidewalls in ball-point pen. I don't know what the hell these people were teaching their kids, but they are going to grow up to be useless adults.

Hey, UG, my daughter is 6 years old and it was a Sharpie marker not a ball point.

Just kidding. It was not my flight and while not perfect, my kids are no worse than your average adult. Plus we do try and pick up most of it before landing. I would fully support banning Pringles from the plane. I know they are the most convenient chips to have from a storage point of view, but we can live without them and they make the biggest mess.

Fly safe.
