:p:D;)

Unless you're a Plat or 1K, in which case you get Roach Vouchers with your membership kit. (If you actually receive said kit.)

Given the current state of United's catering, what self-respecting cockroach would find itself on a United plane in the galley?

Why not eat insects?

Finally, some innovative cuisine on UA! :D

Finally, flavor in the FC meals. :D

Reminds me when I worked at McDonald's oh so many years ago, a customer came back to the counter with a bag of fries that had a cockroach that had obviously been fried. Most amazing part to me was all they wanted was a new bag of fries.

For anyone that is made queezy by this don't go read what the FDA considers an acceptable number of insect parts in different kinds of food, you might never eat again, it happens. :)

One roach leg per candy bar, IIRC.

This thread reminds me of the time I was on a UA 777-200 last year (domestic config) and had one pop out of the seat pocket and crawl onto my tray while I was munching on the Asian noodles. Yuck. Probably going home to HNL with me. It did not make it.

Cockroach on UA Flight 427
 
I was taking a flight from IAH-LAX a couple weeks ago... and found an unfriendly critter in First. What are other folks experience with unclean planes...

Most of my experiences are the result of unclean passengers. At least you can squish the cockroach!

There was someone posting a few days ago about a cockroach in the catering.

The pilot made the decision to offload the catering and reload it. I am on mobile so not going to search for the thread, but that is like two stories in a week.

Here.

We'll have to wait and see if there are enough reports to justify a Cockroach Sightings Master Thread. :D

I wonder if the roach got a TOD upgrade to first...

EEE Jan 27, 2013 10:39 am

Well, I guess now we know where the offloaded catering carts were sent.
