They already are, in the sense that pax and crew frozen meals are now the same. Sadly, they have reduced crew meals to pax meals rather than upgrading the pax meals
Didn't BA go down this route recently, and then both guys at the front went down with DnV in flight, along with several pax. Hence, why the crew always get something different and at different times...........
I've heard (pretty definitively) that the "high energy" aircrew rations (i.e. the nutty draw in the tea bar) is being removed pretty much altogether. Not exactly surprising in this day and age!

We had ours withdrawn last year. It's bring your own now. It actually works out better on the waistline and innards but worse on the wallet!
Entitled to claim back a few quid if the flight goes over 5hrs 5mins but after filling out the paperwork it has to get past the disgruntled , omni-pregidous orderly room corporal who might get around to typing it into the "system", eventually !
Even the trolly dollies on the VIP flights have to bring their own sarnies while the fat cats in the rear get the top nosh!!

Will keep a look out on eBay for RAF surplus tinned tuna then, probably have cornered the market.

Part of our pre-flight brief requires the pilot in command to check the crew have brought sufficient rations. Minimum of a sandwich , water and choc bar or fruit.
We have a stash of coffee also but milk is often forgotten
