Keep Discovering....
Keep discovering, even if nothing changes.
The crew meal story is an old hat in EK.
18 years ago we had a situation where a meal allowance in EK was not being paid because we landed 10 mins after the window closed, but a crew meal wasn't loaded either since we "wouldn't have time to eat it on a 90 mins sector".
Kinda reverse "eating your cake and keeping it", isn't it?
