Crew Meals Please.......Gearup...
I'm seeking the help from colleagues on this; what do you get,when,why and how muchdoes it cost you?
The reason is; I work for this group that's not very big but has a few bases. In one base its normal that the crew get a crewmeal or on short legs atleast get something caterred (spelling please?) and on the other they get zip! i mean the last thing(some not very
ripe fruit)was just removed from the menu! by a partime 
trollydollyboss. (No offence 
, most appreciated cabin colleagues)
Your input please...
Enjoy your meals sirs...ah...madam sir!

Thanks for the reply, it will help me make my case against our mis-Management.
The problem is more that we don't have a consistend deal. On one station you get it and on the other you don't.

Just get off the aircraft and go to the nearest cafe, take your time while you have a proper meal. The next day you will have crew meals supplied; whether they are worth eating is another matter

We dont get any food in Go. Did a 5 sector day from EDI. Breakfast in the Hotel at 0930. Then didn't get any thing to eat until arriving back at STN 2230 at night. Nearly died!!
Dont moan about crew food- if you get it- consider your self lucky!!

Mooney,
the way you describe it, it is directly unsafe. I know that the Go-philosophy is that you stop by Tesco on your way to work. But since you obviously came from an overnite, the Tesco-catering was probably not to be found on your way to the aircraft. So what do you do? Instead of coming close to six-feet-under, you and your mates should have called Ops and told them to a) uplift some crewmeals, or b) delay one take-off until you have had something to eat.
I know that everything is cut to the bone in Go (No meals and no crew transportation when the sun is shining), but your story makes saving a joke.
Now that you have a union in Go, why not bring up issues like this. I`m sure BC eats during the day. If she does, she will understand.

Almost hate to say it Mooney, but I now arrive at work and almost as soon as we board the aircraft there's a nice hot cup of tea being passed through the door. At the top of climb on the first sector a perfectly edible platter comes in, e.g. breakfast has a choice of English's, plus cereals, fresh fruit, yoghurt, with lunch and / or dinner usually a choice of hot food, plus bread rolls, biscuits, cheese, and desert, to say nothing of various other goodies dished out throughout the flight, e.g. chocolate bars, soft drinks, etc - now on sector two there's yet still more grub...... getting the idea ? ..... now just where did I put that Weight-Watchers number ?
Yep, it's with a sense of some nostalgia that I look back at that crap being sold from the Go vending machine (assuming Telesales haven't got there first of course), and / or leaking Tesco 'value' dinners, plus the clanking of my camping set of knife, fork, and spoon in the bottom of my flight bag.
Ps. I'll admit to having had a peak in the Go forum the other day where I noted that some wag had made a comment that all airlines are basically 'the same sh!t different day' - now don't you believe it old son ! Ah well, see you soon……

Well i ordered indeed some crew meals the other day at an outstation (now a few weeks back) an know for sure that management talked about it but haven't heard a thing yet. It is refreshing to know there are more under fead overworked colleags out there.

Worked for a cargo airline where the management said......supply your own grub and put in on the expense account (cost within reason of course). Subway sandwiches and pizza were the first choices, followed by fresh fruit. Microwave on board to keep things hot.
Everyone seemed pleased. No complaints.

They feed us First Class catering for breakfast, lunch and dinner if we have a long day.
Good food, but all I do is eat and gain weight.
Should start putting fresh fruit and nuts, etc in my flight bag....
