Not true. Used to be true in the 80's. I'm sure there are some airlines that might have it in place, but not the norm. Pilots are presented food options and they usually rotate who gets to choose first, but the old rule has gone away quite awhile ago. So now we've learned that today, instead.

It’s not just dollar thresholds either. Anything suspicious has to be reported. If you come in and ask what the limit is, whatever you do should be reported.

His closing instructions called for “cash or certified funds”. Some mob guy shows up with a suitcase full of cash to buy a half million dollar house! He called the bank and said “HELP! I know it’s almost 5:00, but don’t close the vault!” He changed his closing instruction letter! He was later put under some form of protection until he could be flown to Philadelphia to testify as to what happened. He said he was most uncomfortable walking out of court....when the protection was no longer there for him.
