toddbabe,
1. Did you read my earlier reply ref what the medics say about physiology and flying? They aren't my words, but those of the medical world.
2. Did you read what an earlier post said about 'the rules/regulations about aircrew and food blah?
3. I have never, ever said that we deserve it either! What I have explained, as in 1 & 2 above is that those are the rules.
4. I have never argued that we should get the free food, only that it is stupid for you chaps to argue against us getting it because you don't!
Now I appreciate that you have a problem accepting that aircrew get something that groundcrew don't but what would you suggest we do? We also get some real Gucci kit, and Gucci watch, Gucci socks, T shirts and Sox, so why don't you argue against those? I mean after all, we all have a watch don't we? And what shall we do with the rations? leave all the food on the jet for the groundcrew to have? Would that cheer you up a bit? You guys already get all the leftovers that you are NOT entitled to, but I don't hear of any aircrew running off to the RAFP telling them that the groundcrew are stealing rations!

May I refer you to what I wrote, and ask you to read it carefully please? It said........'As a pilot, with sole charge of a multi milliion pound aircraft, I do believe I am slightly more important than a scribbly frankly! Please note that I didn't say better, just more important'
I don't recall making any reference to aircraft engineers, only scribblies! As I have stated on many occasions on prune, I hold you chaps in the highest esteem, so please do not ever accuse me of degrading aircraft engineers - ever.
You are simply hell bent on moaning because 'we' get something for free that you don't, endex. Perhaps I should draft a memo to the AOC suggesting that as a further cost-cutting measure, all ranks should pay for their own uniforms eh? After all, if its good enough for you chaps, then its got to be good enough for the officers as well!
