You're both right. The company should recognize we have nutritional needs prior to operating an aircraft, and that doesn't mean inhaling junk food from the terminal on a quick turn.
The NC shouldn't have to spend negotiating capital to secure crew meals or breaks. These are just facts of life, and if management chooses not to recognize that then they'll have some serious D-0 problems. So long as pilots also recognize that they require proper nutrition and don't sacrifice themselves for the sake of D-0. Then again these are JetBlue pilots we're talking about...
