Since a purchase is not require per the contract you can leave it blank or put NA. If they disapprove it then it is time to call/email the ACP. We need to hold their feet to the fire on everything, no matter how insignifigant it may seem.

NOCAT cities shall be designated in the bid period package.

The big change is you get $25 in lieu of caering, meaning you do not need to justify it with a actual meal. You get $25 for a NOCAT city period dot. Just put a NOCAT category on your expense report for $25.

This last contract change was after the posted FCIF. The "up to $25" now deals with catering that was to be on the aircraft but does not make it. It is covered under 5.E.1.a.vii. "If catering is not delivered by departure time, CRS will attempt to arrange catering down line. If catering required under Section 5.E.1.ai.,ii., or iii. is not delivered down line, the pilot entitled to such catering shall be eligible to expense a meal up to $25 upon arrival at the layover city. The pilot shall submit an online Pilot Ops Report (POR) reguarding the catering failure and attach a copy of such POR to his expense report in order to secure reimbursement.

What a pain in the a$$. However, you only have to submit receipts for amounts over $25. So guess what, if I have to go through all of that trouble..........................
