The following is straight from the contract:

C. Crew Meals
A pilot will be scheduled to receive the same main course meal(s) provided to the highest
class of passenger service in the following operations:
1. an international operation involving an ocean crossing,
2. an operation scheduled for over five hours and thirty minutes block-to-block, and
3. an operation comprising a roundtrip to or from an airport, or between airports, outside the
contiguous 48 states of the United States in a single duty period.
Note: A pilot will only be provided such meal on one of the two flight segments.


Notice the first line..........
