Ferooz, in Doha! The only one happy to see the pilots! How he mothered us with all our whims and fancies! He knew everyone's culinary preferences, the timings of the simulators and the timings of individual instructors, and kept looking after all of us with a smile!
Apparently, the last VPO did not want the Canteen caterer to be supplying at the new Sim center, and that is why we landed up with the over priced and under-stocked counter that we have there.
If the normal canteen caterer were (or is) given the contract, we could have a decent canteen running 24 hours a day, at reasonable prices, and he could be restricted from serving curries etc. to prevent to the odours. After all, these guys serve snacks etc. on the floors of the pink palace all day.
