PAXboy, Crew food is loaded for the crew and costs about 50% of the pax meals. It's very poor quality.
The ham is mostly fat and the chicken is what I would normally cut off at home and feed to the cat. The beef and pork I don't even want to think about. On many sectors you end up stuffing smarties down your throat to raise the blood sugar level enough to stop the shakes.
As we are a captive audience so to speak, we have to make do. I suppose you pax would take a dim view if we stoped off for lunch somewhere. I except this as part of the job.
Sometimes when no-one is looking, one of us snaffles a spare pax meal and I can tell you, it's a treat.
P.S Don't tell the boss
