How is it stupid for crew to eat their own food?
I think it is referring to the perception given to the passengers that although they, as paying passengers, have no meal, the crew do.
I don't have a problem with this if the crew have either bought their own crew food or have had one trolley with the crew catering loaded. However, as has been intimated by the previous post, a little care and forethought should be applied by not eating your food during the flight in sight of the, potentially hungry, fare paying passengers. Perhaps slide the curtain across if fitted or wait until the turn round?
Where has common sense disappeared to in the last 10 years? Please come back!
