Pilots are getting fat! I don't know about dumb and happy.

[JustInfo]

Guess I need to find a fleet that actually gives me enough time in a hotel to find a treadmill!!! Maybe the 400?

Hahahahaha!!!!

Good thread!

I'm flying with a guy overseas in the Ultra that has to reach down and grab his boot to get his leg over the pedastal to get in.

He paid to have a flight suit made for himself because the military doesn't make them that big.

Our primary customer (a general) told his aid he doesn't even want him flying him.

He's a discrace. The military weight control programs are pretty well out the window.



The Air Force is even worse then the Army!

I agree with the other poster, it's everyone in the US. You should see the people overseas, there are nowhere near the fatties as in the states. (well maybe except for those fat little Kuwaities (hahahah, couldn't help it)

For what it's worth, the Navy is still ad-sep'ing people if they are over body fat for 3 cycles (18 months).

When we go back from Europe, I put on an extra 10-15 pounds just because I wasn't walking as much (the base at Naples was built as a "walking base," and there are/were stairs every where, including 2 flights in our house) and because of all the fast food that is available here. I finally got the weight back off - it just takes a little extra effort and attention to what you are eating and your activity level. That and steping on the scale every morning to keep yourself in check!!!!

We ain't got no stairs!

All we have is KBR messhalls that happily pile on all the food you want.

My buddy and I were talking last night about this.

We have had to tell this guy to "wipe his face" more then the rest of the unit combined. (food remnants on his face).

I eat all the raw vegatables I can get (hard to screw up raw vegatables).

He will pile the ******************** on and be done eating before I get halfway done.

Did I mention that he has detroyed 2 chairs in our office? The ones that are left "list" to the right.

He wrecked the floor in the bathroom, and has personally wrecked at least 2 toilet seats.

I could go on and on. I'm just talking abou the weight, not even performance.

Take care,

Actually, we appreciate you not going further into detail. Seriously.

OH yea and fried goodies on the concierge level most definitely cause this phenomena AKA Porkypilot syndrome.

Praytell the proclivity to perpetuate the propensity for Porky pilots?

:cartman: :smash:

Saying its FSI, hotels, whoever is at fault is like blaming guns for crime. You gotta eat that stuff to get fat. Put the donut down, skip the cookies at Signature, etc.

[Smellycat]

Put down the pork

"That bacon's not gonna eat itself!"







:cartman:

Please pass the pork and portend the PORKY PILOT POSSE!

The only thing worse than porky pilot syndrome is goatee-sportin' aviator. Combine the two and we got a sight.

Join the triple P today.

Dine on your daily donut.

ATTENTION cardiologists! Business will be improving soon, as newly riche pilots eat their big raises. After the MI you will get your medical back after the near death experience but.....

TRANSFAT AIRWAYS will still hire you!

:blush:

The problem isn't just unhealthly foods, portions have gotten way out out of control. You don't need to completely fill the entire plate! Eat small potions, more often. Healthy snacks are very important so you're not starving and overeat come dinnertime. Ask a nutrionist. Another problem is that when the company provides the food, you seem to think it's part of your pay, so if you don't eat as much as possible, you feel like you're getting ripped off. My problem isn't the food, it's the beer!

 

[acaTerry]

Portions are ridiculous. I subscribe to the self-control issue too. However, having had a period in my childhood when we were poor, and I mean POOR, I have an aversion to wasting food. I wish they'd all use a sensible size meal. But then again, the 400 lb club would claim starvation...

I mentioned this on another board, but I'll mention it here, too: The Bahama Breeze restaurants have a lot of their dishes available in two portion sizes. The big one is huge like everywhere else, but the smaller size is close to a normal dinner portion. It's 2/3 the cost, and a perfect size. Worth checking out if there's one near you.

That is a good point. I wish that prime steakhouses could give you a steak that is not 16oz. I would not eat 16oz steak at home, so WTF should I try and act like a big fat pig out on the road. At the same time, I also hate to waste food, but unfortunatly 90% of the time that is what I end up doing.
