Don't **** off a ramper or agent. You might get a surprise in your green thermos.

@ UPS??? Of course not! We DO have a hot pot in each plane, so you can boil the bottle water that's supplied for coffee or tea. Instant coffee and tea bags are graciously provided.

Now the MD11 is the FIRST plane I've flown @ UPS that HAD hot and cold running water in the lav to wash up, but that was initially shut off during winter ops (didn't want to drain the holding tank while sitting on ground like a real airline), and finally shut the water off for good; presumably as a cost savings measure.

Now I wash my hands in the lav with BOTTLED WATER! Do the math....

Our 757, 767, and A300 fleets don't even have sinks installed. Correction, the scarebus has the sink with no drain or faucets installed. It's used to store a handful of the Sani-Wipes for your disinfecting pleasure.

The 747-400s have everything of course.

I just want to know how she gets the tops on the Thermos so dam tight.

That's why God gave us an immune system. It's good to give it a challenge every now and then - keeps it in good working order.
If you can find that Miko coffee, it makes a pretty good pot on the MD-11. Been drinking the stuff for years.

I find the coffee packs work rather well as an air-freshner for the lav. If by chance you find one of those packs colored blue you may want to steer away from using it to make coffee. If you do use it, "urine" for a real treat.

Coffee packs in the lav as an air freshener is an old Flight Attendant trick ... but it makes the coffee taste lousy!

Miko or the Delta regular blend is my coffee of choice (or the Starbucks yellow if you are really having a good day) Problem with working for a US carrier - no teabags!

Eula Bell! Love her so much.

Yea, but have you looked in a mirror lately? The stuff you've been drinking for years is killing you (ever wonder why pilots have such strange diseases and cancers?). It's the water!! or, about 1000 other things.

I love how at least 2 people on this thread have been able to assess TurboDog's ability to fly cargo solely based on the fact that he/she is wondering if there is coffee onboard.

You guys must be pretty intuitive. I guess that's why you're such good pilots. A lowly regional pilot like me can only wish to make such quick penetrating analysis.
