Hot lunch
AnsettStar,
We only do a hot meal on long sectors i.e. Per-Syd or Per-Mel. The Adl-Per leg is considered a medium sector by our product development dept. so you just get the cold meal, in economy anyway.
All our 73's have heating facilites but I guess its just cheaper for QF to provide the cold meal.
Most customers don't mind the cold meal and Americans always tell me how unreal it is that we give out any food! They are used to picking up a brown paper bag during boarding containing pretzels and a juice.
We did used to do hot meals on medium sectors and even on Mel-Syd sectors. But those days are gone (thank goodness) and its all about saving money to pay for the new fleet.
