No, as f/a's we have a pretty narrow scope of when we get fed domestically. Over 8 hours duty without a 2 hr. break. It happens a lot less than it seems it would. And if you end up switching planes or some other drama happens, forget it, it's gone! Pilots eat more, they have crew meals based on their contract and also have negotiated some they pay for. For example, on a transcon they will get 2 meals, f/a's none.

PS...glad to help. I would rather you ask here than write a letter and potentially get f/a's in trouble for something they didn't even do wrong!! ^
