The Crew Members Usually Skip the Airplane Food
Food served on planes is not precisely recognized for its gourmet reputation, so many travelers prefer to stock up on snacks before taking off. Not surprisingly, numerous crew members have admitted to bringing their meals on board rather than eating the provided fare.
Most pilots and co-pilots in many airlines worldwide eat separate meals to reduce the risk of contracting the same illness and being rendered unfit to fly. On some, the staff chooses their meals from different menus.
