This is a good point. Have they recently changed the menu? I can hardly wait to come back this weekend (after like 80 days). Although I did actually like the jerk chicken with peppers and rice and the dipping sauce. I won't lie. Goes down smooth with a cardboard water.

You haven't had rats have you Mike? I wish I could take you for a tour, after a 0200 trap following an 8 hr mission in that stupid tiny cockpit with no snacks, it is the best food known to man.

Closest I would’ve had was the mermite-container meals…. a sort of half assed hot meal field container that what appears to be warmed up MREs is kept in..

Before we had established bases in AFG, we’d launch out of Kuwait, fly down the Gulf and up the Driveway into AFG….just to start a multi-hour patrol with AR, before RTBing the same way back. That was a royal pain.

Yeah that is probably similar to what we largely did. "Exiting Tapdo, seeya!" (and then like 2 more hrs of flying)

Rats is a whole other thing. Cooked by apprentice young men and women who cook to order. Often combining elements of earlier meals from the day. But the eggs and burgers are on point. It is all a heart attack on a plate, just how you want it after a dark scary night trap and a lonely jaunt over AFG doing nothing for hours and hours (or moreso if you actually did something) :)

I dunno. I try not to look at it and it all tastes like hot sauce. Because I put an ass load of hot sauce on everything except the oatmeal.

Oh man, I have kept reminding myself to bring hot sauce and I never seem to remember. Maybe this will be the time that is different. Anything is edible with enough hot sauce.

I imagine the odds are in favor of this happening in the near term......though I seem to be flying with sub-300 seniority guys all of July. I wonder why that might be :)

A lot of the crusty-old-DPS-7ER instructors were like "so, what was the A320 like" and I gave 'em my standard answer of "it's fine."

Which it is. It's fine. It's not anything special. It has completely predictable handling characteristics. There's drool guards around important things. In fact it's agonizingly boring to fly, which, as far as aviation appliances go, isn't necessarily a bad trait (some people apparently certificated can't handle "interesting"). The problem may well be that the universe builds better idiots, too.

All aviation appliances are going to have shortcomings. The A321 is a lousy 757 replacement, for instance; the current whip could use 10% more engine, and so on and so forth.

I flew with a guy who loves extremely spicy food. He makes his own ghost pepper sauce and brought it along. He accidentally left it out on the galley. Captain came back And just as he’s about to take a bite of his food, he tells the guy ”I I used some of your hot sauce. I hope you don’t mind.”

He ended up throwing the meal away, it was too much.

The 777 might not have a tray table, but you can get up and go eat in the back.

That said, it’s probably a good idea to tell the other pilot. I had a guy say the standard “I’m gonna go get my food.” 25 mins later comes back up. “Dude, where were you?” “Oh, I eat in the galley.”

This concept is intriguing but baffling

Yeah, holding my pee or not drinking water in order not to pee is no bueno. I know of a few people with health issues from that.

I did a flight out of Panama City, Panama a few months ago...one of the FA's was a Urologist part time, and his words were "Even if you THINK you have to pee, you call and come straight out...do not hold it"

Wait, what?

I mean I consider myself a gynecologist part time as well, I don’t see the patient that frequently these days, but i wouldn’t go around giving medical advice.

Yep, dude did it for 20+ years, decided to go into part time doing that and being an FA for the flight benefits (Family in Brazil, I think he said).
