Would it not make sense to simply carry on providing meals if requested but bill for them as in the US?

Not exactly as advertised, but after talking with Tom, I understand why. It seems Moron has boxes on back-order for the last 3-months, and supplies are hard to come by so they do what they can. Their flight meal orders went from 18 meals in Nov 2002 to 6410 in Jan 2003. Ground meals in Nov 02 were 2000 meals, in Jan 03 it jumped to 27000 with no additional manning authorized to build them all.
As our loadmaster said, "When the meals are brought out in a garbage bag, you should take that as a sign".
Some one must have been having a war somewhere
