Does anyone here have a problem with a Muslim fasting during a daylight flight to Europe? I recently went to the UK on the AM departure and the captain did not eat or drink all the way up to England. To top it off he was the pilot flying. So by the time we landed the fasting captain had gone almost 12 hours without any food or drink.
I was curious what the rules were. At the very least it is unsafe. I can't imagine what the lawyers would get out of Emirates moneytarlily if something did happen upon landing.
Also I thought if Muslims were traveling they did not have to fast. Dangerous concepts.
