Expenses? What expenses? Why should the airline pay for your lunch when you're in a hotel. I've always wondered that. They don't buy you lunch when you're at home, same with the engineer. Still, don't suppose that'll go down all that well around here...
RoyHudd your attempt is only going to earn you a sore head from banging against that brick wall. Too many sensitive people ready to jump on anything that looks like a belittlement of a profession.
Anyone who responds to a slight with
"guess what's:
-going in your tea
-being rubbed all over your bread roll
-happening to your piece of steak"
is a part of the problem, not the solution. It's not socially acceptable around here to appear to ridicule cabin crew but excessive use of vitriole and pathetic, childish claims of food or drink tampering are quite alright.
Now and then the CC where I work need a "briefing" and they get it. Then of course, one has to wonder what's coming in the next meal. Seems to indicate a different level of maturity. It's a generalisation, I know, and doesn't always apply. But hey, when the shoe DOES fit....
