On the rotation, it would show a "M" if we're scheduled to get a meal - on that JFK-LAS that leaves at 2100, even though it's over 5+30, no meal (and no "M") because as everyone else said, the FC pax don't get a meal. Blows for us, because 6+08, plus preflight and postflight time is a long time.

You can check to see what the passengers are scheduled to get if you look up the FA's rotation in iCrew, by flight number. Just mouse over "Preflight" at the top, then "FA Names" then enter the flight info you're looking up.

On the same line as the flight number and times, the codes for the food will be after the aircraft type (73H, 75E, etc): B is breakfast, D dinner, S snack, F - I think is food for sale. It shows FC then economy. D/F would mean Dinner for FC and food for sale in YC:

<-xxx is pax numbers, I removed as to not show the load

Actually, the company has until 1800 Eastern Atlanta Mecca Time on the 17th to get the schedules out.

The timeline line for LOT awards is posted on the Pilot Resources and Scheduling Page.

For you guys that got reserve lines this month, there is a little bit on how to bid for * days.

Heyas guys,

You are all making this crew meal thing harder than it has to be,

No food? Train stops. Go eat. Come back. Fly. Write up ASAP (Hint: Feds read these).

Problem fixed. Same with Call in Honest. One or two weather events, and they'll be begging to fix the problem.

Man up, grow a pair and use some of that "big bubble" crap I keep hearing about.

And do you reacall the SNAFU that doing that created for your NWA crew in LAS a few years back?

I agree, but doing that at departure time will get you a few off days to think about it.

(I always have some sort of food in my go bag.)

Heyas ACL,

This is one of those "urban legends" that has two sides. Had the individual in this case simply gone into the terminal, sat and ate, and returned to the aircraft in 15-30 minutes, it would have been an non-event. There were other "circumstances", though.

Management would be insane to ding a crew for taking a 30 minute break for food.

I know there were other events. He sat down and had a meal, he did not jut go grab something. If I recall it was something like a 1+30 delay.

If I'm not mistaken, he left the airport to get something to eat.

But, that wasn't the main issue. What cooked him was that he flipped off the tug driver as his salute.

Hey I do that all of the time
