Unfortunately budget restraints at AA have continued to delay the implementation of the apparently much needed pilot's intravenous cockpit feeding program.

finally
>>I was on an AA flight yesterday from LAS to DFW and was stunned when I looked forward towards the cockpit. The crew had clearly just nipped to burger king and decided to munch on it in the cockpit.
Am I crazy to find this highly irresponsible?? I know they have to eat but surely.........<<
this wins as the most ridiculous posting ever...by signifigant margin.

BTW, I wish you guys would be nicer to newbies but I learn so much from you that I am not about to complain.

Just kidding!

TWA flight ops produced a humorous training video post 9/11 on what life in the cockpit looked like now. The first officer had an IV bag of sprite, but was promised mountain dew for the return. A toaster oven was in the middle for heating food, and a change machine which was inop. The punch line at the end was the Captain looking down between his legs stating "Oh No - My catheter fell out." When I saw it, I wondered why they were spending money on something like that.
Every so often airlines alert the flight crews to the mx expense incurred due to spilled liquids on the center pedestal, with a request to be more careful.
A few years ago SWA implemented a policy that all beverages for the pilots were to be served in styrofoam cups with sippy lids attached. So, no more cans of water, etc. This policy did not last long.

Okay... What are we supposed to discuss here?
All B757s/MDs should equip a cup holder in the cockpit? AA should prohibit DK?

As far as "controls" - hardly - the food appears to be sitting on the Capt's audio controls (and maybe the ADF - hardly critical for today's 767s). In any case, there is a duplicate set on the other side (F/Os).

I can tell you from personal experience that a FAM standing nearby would have had something to say about a passenger trying to snag a sneak photo of the cockpit. (sure, sure, there's tons of cockpit photos on-line, ....but...)

On the 'other side' of the fast food debate .. I have seen FAs bring 'goodies' onboard and then offer them to the cockpit crew (and the other FAs). One FA who barely looked capable of cooking biscuits on a breakfast flight brought in a whole stack of Chocolate Chip Cookies and was proudly handing them out to the crew.
I wonder what else she was handing out ..but that is another thread ...
