If I’m not mistaken UAL gave up min crew day pay during their BK but kept their crew meals. We gave up crew meals during BK but kept min crew day pay. I’m not saying it was one-for-one but it was definitely part of the package.

I remember the crew meals we had, and how everyone complained about them. Rightfully so. Think of the sandwiches we get from the fridge in the pilot lounges, only much worse.

If we’re shooting for crew meals in C19 (20,21,22…) I hope they’re pretty far down on the list of asks.

EDIT: and for the perpetually angry, no - this doesn’t mean a ‘what are you willing to give up for that’ opportunity
