I would blow Dane Cook posted:Is it true that the captain and the co-pilot can't both pick the same thing from the menu? I used to work catering at JFK for European and Asian carriers. Everything we did was according to the airline's contract, and some airlines were deceivingly cheap and it showed especially when you looked at the crew meals. To answer your question, crew meals are a different menu from passengers and are loaded with quantities that prevent everyone from eating the same thing. If there were 3 pilots, we'd load 3 meals but two different entrees. Two pilots, two different entrees. Some of the sided might be the same but generally they're eating different foods for the entire flight.

Reading that thread the biggest issue appear to be some water which made a floor wet and signs which aren't hung yet. I wonder if it's in MSFS?

I tried to Google a pic of the poorly-chewed-vomit-appearance CM200 crew meals I used to get 15 years ago while at ATA, but apparently so many other versions of hell food have been issued since then that I couldn't find any. They all featured a protein identified as "Chork". This is a pic of my portion of a $20,000 catering bill flying for Russian clients:  Both of us successfully ate a shitload of Siberian sushi. The eatin' is generally a lot better over on the Corporate side.

Quickest & best hack I was told about, for transoceanic flights, was to pre-order off of the special "proscribed" menu through the airline's website. Ate halal on the way to Zurich, and kosher on the way back. Best airline food I'd had in awhile, especially from AA. Also learned that it may be hazardous to your health to bring a hoagie on your PHL-MCO flight. The mob got restless with their tiny Southwest peanut pouches. At least the offender held the onions. But drat, it wafted the most heavenly zephyrs... PainterofCrap fucked around with this message at 17:29 on Oct 31, 2020 |

It is pretty amazing that he gives semiweekly updates, there's a lot of stuff to see! Almost every video during and after the move to the hangar has a pretty big head scratcher moment.

Yeah I completely agree with that, I always order the vegan meals and they're pretty ok - if I paid 5 quid for it at a cheap cafe I would be fairly happy. Worth noting though that this is on European airlines. I've not flown an American carrier since starting to order special meals but some of the worst food I have ever been presented with has been on their flights (I'm looking at you, United long haul breakfasts).

Ola posted:The typical alternative engine application starts by someone being mad at a maintenance bill. Why does it cost so much, why only a few hundred hours between service intervals when my car goes on forever, old technology etc. It will cheaper maintenance, easier operation and lower fuel consumption to use an automotive. Oops turns out it's really complicated. The Eggenfellner Subaru installations which caused the RV-10 crash linked earlier promised to be cheaper, lighter and more economical but turned out to be more expensive, heavier and used more fuel. Wasn't Eggenfellner also a massive idiot

Flying out of New York is depressing as hell. The catering is all round awful, whichever major airport there you are flying out of. You can't even get decent coffee, let alone food.

Arson Daily posted:Welp now I know what im doing the next time I'm there There's also a Five Guys. A big greasy burger is a very close second of "poo poo you should never bring on a plane." Back in 2015 I was on a Redeye from Hell from LAX to IAD on Virgin America - I knew it was going to suck from the get go because 1) a dickhead boarded with a GIANT BAG OF IN & OUT food that he stowed in the overhead bin, 2) IFE was completely non-functional for the entire flight except for the promo video and map, and 3) a Chinese family stuck their daughter and their nanny back in steerage with us while they flew First, and the little girl, still bursting with energy, *sang* to the images of said promo channel for *the entire...loving...flight*. All they needed to do was turn off her screen. She'd have cried, but she'd have gotten bored and *gone to sleep* eventually. But nope...the entire plane got to listen to (something that sounded like, because it's still seared into my brain) NYAHN NYAHN NYAAAWHN for the entire flight.

there was a good story in the r/relationships thread where a lady was babysitting her 11 year old niece and the kid found and ate a bunch of THC gummy bears, and after some extreme panicking by the babysitter and the parents, the end result was she asked for a giant bowl of macaroni and cheese with hot dog slices and spent 12 hours alternately sleeping and watching disney movies
