and if that meal contains even one muffin.... 🤬
With all due respect. Although, I understand where you are coming from. I would expect that if the company took responsibility for any type of crew meal it would be more than just a PBJ. Honestly, its not that hard to pack yourself a hand full of them. Bring them along for those early reports and late finishes if it is about the lack of food available. If not, my point is we work for an airline that is financially very stable. (For now no thanks to us) We can do better than PBJs. I would argue anything is
not necessarily better than nothing. I would encourage you to raise your standard and hold them to it. Otherwise "anything is better than nothing" is exactly why we will be lagging every contract cycle if we adopt this mentality. Why not ask for an actual meal for a flight over 4 hours? Really why not? We aren't worth it? They can't afford it? We don't require food? A muffin will really show you that they care? They aren't doing anything for us because they care. They are doing it because we are forcing them to. Or in this case I suppose we are not. I'm just saying don't settle for crumbs. Have a peice of the cake instead. 🎂
