I take my own meals to be heated up on the aircraft. Make up some food, stick it in a foil tray, into the freezer, then out on the days you need it.
Goes into a cooler bag which goes into my flight bag when I go to work and is normally still quite frozen half way through the shift when it's taken out to go into the oven.
I don't know why people are so up in arms about those of us that have to do it. It's normally better than the alternative.
I did several years in aeromed where you had to take your own food for your 12hr shift. No oven, just a cooler bag, maybe a microwave at one of your stops. Yet we never died at the controls.
Krusty, the aeromed organisation I worked for allowed up to 16hr shifts (max 12hrs rostered). However you were given some pretty generous time off after that.
