Just to stick my oar in, Agaricus, crew food is seen as a perk by the ex - Go guys, at easy it is not a perk but an absolute necessity due to our appalling rostering etc. But I think this has been mentioned elsewhere on this thread. The fact remains, however, that for example on a three day NCE trip, on day 2 we report at 0400z for a four sector NCE - CDG, it is impossible to provide your own food at that time of day, everything is shut!! The shi**y hotel we use might occasionally provide breakfast, but not very often!
Rant over, off to pack for a 3 day trip....
