They start it on lost luggage contents and keep it fueled with skymiles.

I demand everyone involved, including the flight crew, be fired immediately. Possibly even the OP, too. I cannot be sure he didn't partake in the BBQ immediately after taking the picture. Better safe than sorry.
This is completely FURIATING!

I always support BBQ. that would have put a huge smile on my face if I saw that. Where folks have their lunch is really none of the Pax concern. BBQ on!

Hmmm...2010 Delta Employee vs. FlyterTalk Member cookoff with proceeds going to charity ?!?

Wow, some of you guys don't see this as odd?

Backyard does not equal airport tarmac, you know, a high security area surrounded by millions of dollars of equipment, huge quantities of jet fuel, and many many people effectively trapped in big metal tubes...

Have you never tailgated with a grill in the back of a truck? Gasoline is much more flammable than JetA.

Where have you been?!?

Ears of unicorn are usually a side dish at a barbecue, along with potato salad, macaroni salad, cole slaw, tossed salad...

I am now craving steak with potato/macaroni/tossed salad....thank you Canarsie for doing this. If Stop and Shop was open, was close by to me, wouldn't cost so much, and if I knew how to grill steak, I would go and get some.

I thought he just invented the radio and played the mamba. Who knew he also had a salad named after him?
