blondebabe,
Are you not reading all of the replies or is it that, in typical feminine style you just love a row
Plenty of folk have told you why we have in flight rations, simply because the AV Med folk say we need to have them to operate the aircraft safely, or do you dispute THAT fact.
Because the AV Med folk say we need them to operate the aircraft safely they are provided for us, free of charge by our employers who recognise that as the AV Med folk have said to operate the aircraft safely crews need to eat high energy food during flight.
Now if you accept the recommendations of the AV Med folk, as our employers have the you must agree that the provision of suitable in flight rations is essential for the SAFE operation of our aircraft. If you also accept that in the litigious society we live in it would be simply daft not to ensure that crews eat properly whilst flying and the simplest method for that is to actuall supply the food for aircrew to eat thereby ensuring the safe operation of our aircraft as recommended by the AV Med folk.
Now if there is anything there you don't understand please feel free to PM me for more info but to sum up:-
The AV Med folk say to operate our aircraft safely aircrew need to eat suitable in flight food, our employers in recognising the recommendations of these Med Specialists have decided the easiest way of ensuring that crews eat suitable in flight rations is to supply them free of charge to all crew which I think answers your question as to why we have free in flight rations
