Thanks for your responses DutchBird-757 and justanotherstat.
With regards to Captain Widebody you are for want of a better word a "Plonker".
I have read through these forums and tried to find out as much as I can and was not sure about subsistence.
Believe it or some company's do pay subsistence costs which will cover more then a cheese and pickle sandwich!
I come to work to make money and I don't fancy dipping into my pocket to pay for food especially when I am not at home. In my opinion, I think the Company has a moral obligation to ensure that you stay in a safe clean hotel, and you have enough money to buy more then a McDonalds I dont consider these perks I consider it a necessity !
At my present company we get E70 per day tax free - and it don't go that far by the time you have paid for breakfast, had a couple of coffees and an evening meal.
This is why I wanted to clarify this point, which DutchBird-757 and justanotherstat have kindly answered.
It's people like you who bury their head in the sandpit who are driving our terms and conditions down in this industry Ill just turn the other cheek shell I!
Is subsistence going to really change my mind not in isolation, but I want to have an idea what the whole package is. I can then make an informed decision.
One final word Cheche asks a perfectly acceptable question regarding has anyone been called for assessment why make a stupid comment about it the guy or girl is only showing a bit of enthusiasm!
