I defy any crew member to get off the aircraft, get into the terminal and get to an ACCEPTABLE outlet, purchase something suitable, take it through security and get back to the aircraft, and then prepare for departure within the time available on most turn rounds. There's still the requirement to actually consume what's been purchased!!!!
Irish Steve, not to put you on the spot, therefore anyone may please answer, but is there no practice by the Captain (or FO) to step off the a/c and get some food for his crew, regardless of the delay it may cause? What latitudes does one have and, how much does it vary by airline over there?
Thx.
