Crew meals are not a negotiated "benefit". They can be a safety issue. Talk to the Alaska captain who went off of the end of the runway one "dark and stormy night". Part of the cause was hypoglycemia due to not eating all day. Made his reaction time slow and thought process fuzzy. Why don''t you work for a 14 hour shift and not eat anything and see how you feel at the end of the day, try it. I don''t think anybody except another crewmember understands the life of a pilot or F/A (not even their spouses fully).

And don''t forget that breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
