The difference, Heidelberg, is that pilots can take their meal break in flight, out of sight of pax! Cabin crew get no such downtime in the cruise. So therefore they don't eat under the new arrangements. Is that a good way to work? In no other job would you be expected to work for 10 hours without food or a break. That's without considering that the majority of that ten hours is spent in a cabin at 8000 feet. The crew have already taken a large dose of medicine, and failed to stick up for themselves. The company will keep coming back for more until the crews take a stand. Thats the culture the lovely Michael has propagated(450 million profit and a ten per cent pay cut- where's the logic there? No other industry would accept this nonsense)
