In the 20 years in this business, I have only been denied a meal/snack once, and that was on a flight from DEN/SFO they were short catered. The FA's appreciate it and they will try and take care of you.

get real....the only time I "ASK" about if there are enough meals, is when im working it. now before you put words in my mouth, we are not talking about JS, if asked ME to not eat so a passenger could, I would be more than happy help out....

You shouldn't ever have to be asked...you are the one that should be asking if there's enough....standard etiquette that was even covered in indoc when I was hired. You're way out of line on this one.

I even pay attention during the saftey brief to set a good example....introduce myself by name to say hi up front....wait for pass to get off when I have flight bag and roller and cant keep up...and so on and so on and so on.....but if im sitting in the back on a SA im not asking.....they are offering...im recieving

It's the way I was brought up. Back then though they had meals all the time. Since I had to wear a coat and tie to travel and be on my best behavoir, I had to ask if they had enough to go around. It's the way I learned to like omelets! They ran out pancakes so I got the leftovers!:mrgreen:

One time at band camp...I was non-reving with my kids and they ran out of meals by the time they got to me and the very gracious FA comped me a "Barley Pop", after all beer is food...
