SFO Catering Meltdown

Ok. Kinda weird you carry so much disdain for the people paying the most to occupy space on the aircraft and don't see a problem in that lol. A Polaris passenger on a long haul may very well do more for UA than if everyone in economy on one of your shorter flights in economy class were to never fly UA again. How do you think everyone who paid an arm and a leg for a transcon experience or longhaul flight is going to be satisfied knowing until mid July, this is the UA SFO product?

It personally pisses me off tho as I logged into an empty interview room with these clowns for a position that was created FOR THIS TRANSITION and wanted people who have airline management, ramp operations, worked with United Airlines/Express in various capacities AND ramp tower experience since they post an ops guy in SFO Tower G that you'd be the boss of. Real professional company, LSG SkyChefs. Looks like the people they went with did a great job.

But I learned airlines don't like it when you tell people on the conference calls that plans are impossible, short sighted, or just suck. They want people who say yes AND take the fall both. The silence was deafening when I was asked to "own up" to a "failure" in an impossible situation by some dude in ATL when I was at DL SMF who I guess is important enough that when i said "So what would YOU have done with these resources in this situation? Because I'm pretty sure it was impossible. " everyone gasped like I gave him "the bird". That is why nothing gets done, the truth hurts feelings and these "suits" are fragile. Great corporate world we live in. Probably would have been let go the second I gave my 2 cents. At SFO I watched every person in any position of power with my vigor, passion and vision end up leaving after being beaten down, ignored, and often humiliated. The people as dumb as bricks who say the right things keep climbing the ladder.

Like Derg alluded to, I think our future is a lot more stuff like this as the people who can make a difference play the game instead and choose self preservation.

One thing I learned when I switched from flying a billionaire’s Falcon 900 to 121 was I had to stop caring and for the most part thinking.

One of my favorite quotes from my latest job is: “thinking hurts the team.”

4 leg day yesterday and they tried to feed us every leg. I think that would be a lethal dose of tillamook cheeseburger

I have never encountered a tillamook cheeseburger; what is that? I understand Tillamook is a brand, but have they expanded into catering as well?

Fish on airplanes is something I actively avoid.

Raw fish, doubly so, and I love sushi.

I’m in Dallas. They sell it at Kroger and Walmart. Not sure what he’s talking about.

Ofc you can buy mookie cheese at the Butt stores in real Texas, but it’s at Safeway/Randalls/Tom Thumb where it is the “branded” offering after store-brand “Lucerne”.

It would be a shame that DFW traded its soul for Kroger & Albertsons and goes without H-E-B, but it never really had one to give away.
