SFO Catering Meltdown

Oh no, won't somebody think of the poor elite, deprived of their Otis Spunkmeyer diglyceride cake.
I know I do. Hell, it’s even a hypothetical interview question. I want the pax happy, especially our HVC’s. Their continued loyalty is what allows me to do what I love.

Oh, and the crew meals aren’t half bad. It would be nice to get a change for. The same three things out of JFK though.

Lol OK, list for Polaris SFO-SIN and I think you'll empathize with that premium flyer who helps keep you employed by the 10th or 11th hour of water and especially crappy and skimpy economy meals.

Maybe you care about everyone who missconnected or lost luggage because all the rolling catering delays then? Concourse G kinda been getting shut down...Sheesh
 
It’s probably time to realize the collision between cost cutting, increasing expectations, light brushes of corporate malfeasance and thinking the nation is going to morph into a workforce of “Rosie the Riveters” with OTHERS kids doing the work (because ours are going to Juilliard, they’re SO special and bright) cranking out overtime for they good of the company is pure unadulterated fantasy.

The wheels of production are still on they bus, but man are they wobbly.

“I could do what’s right, but the supervisor said ‘no overtime’ and I’m due to be at my other job soon, so good luck”
 
"My job performance metrics are about cost and speed. Ain't no KPIs about repeat business; we've got the airline locked-in to a dickety-year contract anyway. Or does the airline have us locked-in at a price for dickety years? Either way, meh."

Welll, hot dickety DAWG man!
 
My crew meals have been in the terminal, because catering inevitably forgets, it is unappetizing or they some how fall into a wormhole to where the woodbine twineth between the catering truck and the cockpit.

Hard feelings are met with a shrug and a “I’ll see you in 15”.
🦋 Is this a service failure …?
 
Meh...at my AArline, I usually avoid them with the exception of the transcon Flagship flights out of JFK on the 321T's that are being reconfigured soon. That food is actually decent...and I REALLY don't like the terrible stuff on the normal domestic rotation.
The chicken parm is edible, as is the green chicken. Everything else is garbage.

Fish on airplanes is something I actively avoid.

Raw fish, doubly so, and I love sushi.

Of course, I got sick from “potable” water that had giardias swimming around.

Parasites are no fun. They share, mostly, the same cell biology you do, so whatever you take to make them sick, is going to make you sick, to at least some degree.

If anyone needs a plushy giardia, here you go:
