I always found the crew meals quite tasty, we used to heat them up at the end of the night after we'd stripped the terminating aircraft.
I don't know of too many other industries that provide free food for their staff.
And the alcohol tasted good as well. We had the odd enjoyable 'after work' drink on many occasions. We also used to enjoy taking all the caps, beer coolers and trinkets home for friends and family....We did pass on Richard's lame book however, it was only good for using as a fire starter when camping on days off!
