There are hungry pilots on FedEx 767s in Asia eating cold sandwiches and veggies trays as well. I actually got excited back in March when I was due to fly one of our jets equipped with the oven, and eagerly ordered a hot meal like I used to do on the MD-11. Alas...the day prior an equipment change occurred. More cold tuna...
So yeah...cue the violins. And yes...tired soul....we do gut through the tragedy, but most of us are closer to 400k than 300k at the end of the year.
What I have learned is that a hot meal on a 7-10 hour duty period is a nice morale boost. I have no idea why someone decided to remove the ovens from some jets in the first place, but even a deli plate sandwich is a bit nicer after 15 minutes warming in the oven.
