I dont know if the guy is fired or not.
The cabin crew did receive a memo from AAB himself ( he obviously has nothing better to do) that on ground, flight deck crew should only be given a bottle of water and a cup.
No food, no hot drinks!
In case of delay, he leaves it to the CS/CSD common sense to do what he/she wants. Yeah right, as if any of them will dare to go against this note.
Further: no dates, nu nuts, no orange juice and no pax meals( even what is leftover) should be given to the flight deck.
Because flight deck can not be served untill pax service is finished a lot of us dont eat at all anymore on board since most of the flights are just too short!
Real life situation: cabin crew stuffing themselves with all the goodies on board, engineers-ground crew and cleaning drinking all the fresh orange juice upon arrival of the aircraft..
Pilots: left with a lousy crew meal and a bottle of water if time permits!
Only on LH flights we eat normally!
Flight deck crew where not issued this note so as far as I am concerned, on my next 12H duty with 2X 3hrs on the ground double dubai sector I will go to Mcdonalds, buy a take away bag and eat that in my cockpit! No notes forbids me to eat on ground, I just cannot be served!!!!!
QR is probably the only airline in the world where pilots are forced to eat when performing their duties in the air!!!!
