As such, why should not the same responsibilities apply regardless of where that work is performed, eg. meal allowances?
I would argue with you on that one Kaptin M.
Meal allowances are not a right under any law (European) or otherwise that I am aware of.
The food you are provided with when undertaking a Fligth Duty is to provide you with proper nourishment (arguable I agree when looking at those layups!) because you are in an enviroment where you are unable to do that for yourself.
One could argue sitting at home with the telly on and your feet up is not a situation where you are unable to provide your own food. I think maybe your tongue is firmly in cheek!!
Smokie, That is shameful sh1t stirring!!
