Malagant, you're wrong. And sadly you've illustrated the reason why pilots all over the world have T&C's that get worse yearly.
FDP is a guideline, it has no base in scientific fact, if you're tired or not rested the FDP doesn't matter.
Pilots accept the conditions whereunder they sell their service, including the uniform, if something is not to your liking - YOU have to change it. Or shut up and accept it.
If the food is not good or not loaded, the law states your bloodsugar must be such that safe flight can bo conducted - get off the a/c and go buy a meal. The company will soon catch on when flights get delayed. And don't come with ''They don't have to.''
They're obliged by law to give you time off, away from your workplace for meals, which they don't and therefore have to provide the meal themselves.
