“Travelers have become more picky” (0:59) - not a great choice of words to use, but perhaps more selective that we deserve healthier options? Best bet: bring your own food ALWAYS

[@0sireion]

I think you have made a good point for the journalist about the language in this narrative. The reality is--not "more picky" travellers--but average people saying: "I eat this kind of food at home; I eat this kind of food at work or out on the town. Why can't I just do that when I'm trapped on an airplane for 6 or more hours? Can't I just have the quality of food I would give myself or my family?" Somehow, to execs counting olives, such a request is outrageous and only reserved for first class passengers. In reality, why isn't serving and eating reasonable food just a standard like other airlines and train services outside of the USA?

I literally got up from the table that had four of their top people and said. I am sorry you wasted my time and insulted me, I then walked out.

I was a service supervisor for a vendor for LSG Skychefs in 2015, I got to sit in on a negotiation between a buyer from Virgin America Airlines and LSG, they discussed which items sold and didn't sell well on VA flights, then the kicker was when the buyer grabbed a fruit and cheese snack package, and proceeded to ask what the cost was for each individual item in the pack that sold for $8 on VA flights. The buyer then began negotiating over the number of grapes packed in each snack pack, he had deduced that by packing 3 less grapes in each fruit and cheese snack pack the net profit for VA would increase by $600K annually.

I love airplane food, it just seems... different.

They're like... toys, replica made to mimick real food but not 100% food lol

I'm glad the labor exploitation of the airlines industry was mentioned here.

When you do your statistics but then the Coronavirus hit the world....

[@LoyaFrostwind]

So the cost-cutting measures (and lack of free in-flight meals) led to the rise of fancy airport restaurants and concession stands?

[@BRBallin1]

Airplane food used to be good for economy class in early 2000s. Now they’re a bit stingier

[@est9949]

I think the introduction of low-cost airlines mid/late 2000s lowered the bar for everyone.

Every flight I remember taking, I paid for the meal. I usually fly southwest though because you get 2 free bags. And if I fly abroad, I've only taken budget airlines. I flew round trip to London for $400 3 years ago. It was a steal. Incredibly uncomfortable... but worth it.

[@lisalu910]

To you a $400 seat is "incredibly uncomfortable, but worth it." For me, a $2000 seat is incredibly COMFORTABLE but worth it. I guess it depends on how you look at it!

[@cagedtigersteve]

Here's what I expect....bring your own food or buy your own food at the airport. I don't want to be fed by the airline.

[@mikezerker6925]

Caged completely agree! But that only works for short flights, International flights can take more than 8 hours so it may not work for those.

[@Ilikepie18855]

I would rather pay for food, and they increase legroom

[@lolatiffhur]

That’s not a very clean option though. Same issue with hospitals.

[@kariminalo979]

In 2011, I boarded on an 8-hour long AA flight across the Atlantic on a narrow 757 enroute to Madrid from NY. No meals were served on that entire flight, they didn't even have water. All they had was wine, and you had to pay for it. One of the worst flight experiences I've ever had not to mention that we the flight was delayed by 3 hours at JFK due to traffic, too bad the plane had already taxiid on, so we were literally stuck 11 hours in a filled cabin with hardly anything to drink or eat. Edit: Back then very few cabins were fitted with IFE systems, our cabin happened to not be fitted with any such IFE system, can imagine the boredom that prevailed throughout the journey.

[@TheAdnanmajor]

Imagine being a Registered Nurse & a Flight Attendant. 😮

[@est9949]

Well they have to be, even nowadays those flight attendants are still very rigorously trained to handle all types of emergency situations, from medical, to security, mid-air brawl, to plane apocalypse and all.

Airlines don’t deserve a bailout

[@nicolas2970]

Really cause The Airlines or the Employees are the ones who continued to work and deliver ALL those vaccines ,PPE , Doctors/Nurses and every essential item including the toilet paper that Americans hoarded. Not to mention hundreds of Crews died because of Covid19? So I kinda of disagree with you.

True, even in Germany most people don't earn $15,- per hour. Rather $ 8.50/hour.

[@inflixo36]

Is this a repost I swear I’ve seen this video

[@georgetang6157]

For US Based Airlines: Breakfast: Pretzel Lunch: Pretzel Dinner: Pretzel Snack: Pretzel For Asian Airlines: Breakfast: Fried eggs or Fried noodles Lunch: Steamed hot rice with beef or fried chicken noodles Dinner: Fried rice with fish or beef noodles Snack: A whole bag of cookies

I worked in an airline catering and its not that easy. And people says " food is not tasty"just remember the people who prepare it. Just saying😉

[@ukeyaoitrash2618]

0:16 I want that spaghetti, looks good 🤤 as long as it has lots of spices flavor and salt and sauce its all good, soggy spaghetti is the best. Just means there's lots of sauce and oil! 😋 and it's not like it's supposed to be crunchy! Also the meal at 0:07 looks better and more filling then that artistic rabbit food composition after it...
