Don't get your knickers in a twist buddy. I don't use the term 'human rights' lightly. In case you hadn't noticed, eating and drinking is a basic human right: I'm not talking about some villian getting compensation for slopping his cell out.
One of the points being made here (and on other forums) is that this outfit pulls these rule changes out of it's backside when it's too close to the flight time to change.
For your information, I write from a position of genuine knowledge of the offending airline and it really is just a crock of s#!t pulling the health and safety card.
