You can’t carry a cooler around internationally. Limit to two bags for carry on and many countries customs and immigrations don’t allow food inbound. I hate what’s happening to our friends at the pax carriers and we certainly aren’t out of the woods. To keep the operation running through requires pilots to sleep and eat. Not ideal but some things we have to rely on the company to work out on our behalf.
