No More Free Food!!
All this was outlined in a DIN about 3 months ago!
Bean Stealers will be charged full food rates as of next year. Cheers! I live away all week, not thru choice, but thru posting by the desk officer. So why should I pay full rates?
On the recent visits to the Stns the CINC was made aware by the same Flt Lt that wrote into the RAF News. Funny old thing, he knew nothing of the new food charges. He did say he would inestigate.
True erosion of any benefits that we did have left.
My wife works for very large US company based in UK (and the world) and she is paid full expenses when away on courses that the company dictates she will attend. She said it was a true dereliction of leadership by the seniors for letting this go thru and I tend to agree!
Still, with Gordon in charge soon it can only get worse!
Enjoy

Does this mean that we'll be expected to pay for the honour of going to the desert for a 4 month stretch? That'd be a real treat! Perhaps that's why they introduced this new bonus scheme, to pay for food!

I am on a course with my public sector employer next week. Lunch is provided free of charge.
I used to envy the bean-stealers, as a weekend inmate with too far to travel other than every fortnight. At High Wycombe, following the mass exodus on a Friday afternoon (following a bit of Thursday night binge drinking) the range and quality of food changed from quite reasonable lunches to pie-and-chips or chips-and-pie.

Ericferret:- My employer currently provides bed and breakfast if overnighting, £4 for lunch, £18 without receipt or reasonable amount above this receipted for evening meal including a glass of wine or beer.

Yes, it is a known fact that civilian business concerns cover the expenses of their employees when they are required to travel on behalf of the company. However, any expenses incurred in the course of such undertaking are recuperated from their business clients in the bill for the services provided or in the cost of the articles they are producing or selling. They certainly do not do it out of charity.
