A few years back Air Canada had their crew rooms inspected after the crew had checked out, including garbage bins, for "Airline property" such as soft drinks etc. I cannot remember the outcome but if I recall correctly diciplinary action was taken.
It used to be common place for crews to take stuff with them from aircraft. First class servings where quite popular. With one airline it ended when catering people complained that there where missing producs. Reason for this complaint was thet they where not getting enough of the good stuff... Jealousy
I remeber flying with either my Mom or my Paps on longhaul trips. Champagne, juices and soft drinks where served on the crew bus from airport to the hotel. As I recall these where, excluding the soft drinks, all open containers and would have been thrown away anyways.
Gone are the good ole days.
