Dudes! Where's my Eggs?
Flew two breakfast segs this weekend: DCA-MSP and DEN-DTW. Both times, only cereal available.
On DCA outbound, it seemed to be shelf-stable: with packaged muffin and UHT milk (plus banana). From DEN fresh milk and warmed bagel. Of course at DEN temps, everything is stable.
F/A from DCA said paperwork was for scrambled eggs but none boarded.
What gives? I am NOT excited.

I would much rather have the cereal than the rubber eggs

I can't believe someone actually wants those nasty eggs

I love the eggs! One of my favourite meals. I pick flights to get them.
That's why I posted here. If it's a one-time error or problem, I'll let it go. If this is new policy, I'll let them know.
And I hope y'all appreciate my poetical skills.

A lot of downline stations don't receive catering. The flight that comes in the night before brings the food for the next morning with it so everything for breakfast needs to be shelf stable. Sometimes you get non-refridgerated milk and sometimes you get real milk that has been on ice/cold water all night.

This hasn't been the case at DCA before. I take that flight all the time, and have always received the hot meal -- as recently as Jan 5, with the Zipper.
Maybe I'd better TTU. DCAers -- to the barricades!

Say what you want about the eggs, but flying SMF-MSP last week EVERYONE in Rows 1-3 (12 passengers) chose the cheese omelet over the cereal. Don't know about Row 4 as I wasn't curious enough to turn around and look.

Nothing nasty about the eggses.
Had a FA on my last SAN-MSP flight who did a FEBO thing. I was the last person served in the cabin, and still got eggs. Wish they'd make the pieces of dead pig optional, however.
