I fail to see why we should continue with this 2 tier RAF of winged and not winged.
Exactly, but instead of bringing everyone down, why not push to have standards raised? The fact that guards and other non-flyers on extended duties don’t get fed nowadays is being used as an excuse to remove a perk from flyers, but the older amongst us will remember duty suppers, exercise catering and stuffing one’s face during courses, so there was no two tier Air force when it came to food in the past, it’s only because the bean counters were allowed to take away those perks that created a precedence that allows the buggers to try it on again – for pity’s sake, someone tell them to **** off and take their rucksacks with them

Now I'm fifthly civi scum when I go away on a course I get fed for free, why should it be different for servicemen?

Edited to add 'welcome to the chap above, USAF or Luftwaffe?'
