Narrative:
Were you aware that as of may/xx/03, in an effort to cut costs, our air carrier is taking off all cabin crew (flight attendants, not pilots) food on all international flts, so we are to go without food for anywhere from 8-14 hours. I feel this puts us in a very weakened condition to cope with any and all emergency from medical to evacuate/evacuation.
