This is the story of...meh catering!

UA 5443 | January 27th
IAH-SLC
16:42 Departure | Dinner Service

Embraer E175L (Operated by SkyWest)

Allow me to nitpick a bit here: When did a selection of 3 cheeses and 10 crackers start being considered a meal (catered for everyone - no other choice)? Also, why the banana? This flight originated in Houston - it wasn't a roundtrip galley. So, why the shelf-stable cheese tray? Q4 dinner was the Zatar chicken (cold of course). Pie in the Sky is tired (there, I said it). <crawls off soapbox>

Service was fine. Flight attendant was friendly but service was perfunctory. At meal taking, greeted with a "Do you want a meal". Slow on the drink refills. I don't expect much on these flights and even less of SkyWest. But, cheese as your main course is kind of laughable (especially after the Polaris-esque meals on the way to Bogota) although I guess I should be glad we got anything. Someone in catering should have been demoted a long time ago!


A classic main course of gouda and cheddar!
