I realize the possibility that the pairings only show meals for one direction per crew, but I don't think that actually meets the contractual requirements. If SJD is a catering station (and I don't know or certain whether it is, but it is shown as a "Crew Meal Boarding Catering Station" on Wings), then both flights meet the criteria for a meal in and of themselves, based on the very first step of the flow chart...

"Do*the*adjusted*block*times*start*before*and*end* after*the*meal*period?"

The first leg had adjusted block times of 0900-1540, which starts before and ends after lunch. Lunch should be provided if it departs from a catering station.

The second leg had adjusted block times of 1545-2047, which starts before and ends after dinner. Dinner should be provided if it departs from a catering station.

Even if the legs did not individually qualify for meals, there is also a requirement for a minimum of 2 meals (or sufficient ground time, which wasn't scheduled in this pairing, taking into account the adjusted block times) for duty periods scheduled over 10:30. This pairing was scheduled for 11:47 duty, this requiring a minimum of 2 meals.

I know it's been a few days, but if you have any receipts for food in SJD, in flight BOB, or from after you arrived in CLT, I'd submit an expense report, along with a copy of the flow chart with the minimum meal requirement circled to indicate why you should have gotten a second meal.
