What did she do? One of my coworkers ran into a bunch that absolutely need to be fired. Maybe they can trade places.

Wheras there's always more to the story, apparently she's a corporate FA and had agreed on the inbound NYC-BOS that she'd provide a box lunch for the 45 min return flight, as opposed to a formal lunch served on china (cuz the flight is so short and they'll likely sleep anyway) The pax agreed, but still complained to the captain, who, according to her, has a personal vendetta towards her, a 20 year veteran of that outfit.
She was nice enough, but like I said (and much like most rants here on FT) there's likely more to the story.

Give a box lunch to who? a pax? That would be contrary to company policy you can bet. IF and I stress IF that is the case, there are probably specifics about that in the employee manual.
However, if it were a one time issue, I can't see it being a firing offense (probation maybe). That said:
Why would the captain care? There's a reason there too.

This is just to bump us up from pg 2.
And to ask:
Is everyone ready for Friday?

Now if I can get Mrs. Italy to understand Cholula's point of view I would be enjoying my day's more.

Oh well, I'll never see her again, but wish her the best of luck. Maybe she could have used a dose of Dov.
btw - weather's picture perfect in SXM today and I got out of NE just in time. The Westin resort is nice. I'll return and recommend it, despite some less than good reviews.

I got my new PM card today - not sure how I feel about it. Am happy I finally received "Job Well Done" certificates.

No PM card here yet, and Mrs. Gargoyle hasn't rec'd her GM card. I guess it takes a long time for mail to get from MSP to ORD.
