Lol right? If they can board the airplane with out me , then I don't really need to be there for the deplaning process. I leave when I feel like it.

My favorite thing to do is to park on C/D during a quick turn and walk over to the A Lounge to get the quick-turn meal. But inevitably, it seems when I walk into the lounge there are half a dozen pilots casually sitting around munching on the quick turn meals and the fridge is often empty now days. So, I make my way out of the lounge and upstairs and dive into a long line for food. Then, with sustenance in hand, I walk back to C/D and start the preflight process. A 50 minute turn now becomes a late departure and the delay rolls further into the day.
The CPO, to my knowledge, hasn’t made food available to crews far away from the A Lounge
and
A fair number of our pilot colleagues who aren’t pressed for time will selfishly consume the meals at their leisure in the lounge.
The solution are these new crew meals. I haven’t looked up what month they’re due to start showing up with catering but I expect it’ll be some time. And until then, the selfish will keep stuffing their faces and the quick turn crews will keep delaying.

I missed another email? When did this one come out? Or was it the one with all the subtext that went over my head…

When I started, they used to charge for coffee in the ATL crew lounge. All the other lounges had free coffee.

Edit: Just to be clear I actually do feel bad when I change my schedule and it screws things up for senior FOs. Good news is my trips are usually weekday trim its with most days 2 legs or less

I have no problem with LCA’s changing their schedule. My problem is with company making me sign in when OE Is on the schedule knowing I’m going to get released as soon as I get there. If it’s a full trip buy, it doesn’t bother that much, but the partial buys causing me 2 full commutes for one trip is bullcrap. It’s just taking airplane jumpseat rides for the hell of it.
