Let's not exaggerate. I know 4 people who got hired at Delta this year alone. None were military or had internal recommendations. One was with Spirit a few seniority above me. One was with Emirates for a year before jumping ship. Another one with XO Jet and last one flying with a regional turboprop. 3 of them are on the 80 and one on the 320.

I'd really like to see a crew meal on flights blocked over 3 hrs or any flying after 20:00. A turkey sandwich is not a crew meal either. Fine if they want to continue selling salt, sugar, and caffeine to the pax but it's really not much of a logistical issue to have two meals delivered to the plane for us labeled CA xyz and FO xyz. I know united pilots pick what they want to eat from choices when they check in for the pairing. It's not left over first class that the FAs decide they don't want.

If the company can't even deliver paperwork to the flight deck that is formatted properly, I'd hate to think what they'd try to deliver as food. Let's make lots more money and bring a meal to the plane.

Screw getting food, ain't nothing wrong with bringing my own food on the plane. What we need are pay rates that let me quit shopping for crappy food at walmarts and let me start shopping for healthy food at Whole Foods.

What we need is the company to provide snack packs on the plane. Doesn't have to be a first class hot meal but does need to be somewhat nutritious, tasty and available. Nothing says you gotta eat it

I wonder if we are worried about the same issues when thinking that the house is on fire. What concerns do you have?

Let's try to keep our eye on the prize. Compensation, work rules and job security.
I will be happy to provide my own crappy crew meal.
