I didn't try it, but it looked good and after being disappointed again by shoe-leather style beef, I was thinking I should have tried it. The green curry was served with rice (so doesn't appear to be the same as the couscous meal).

Not sure if this is a new standard but on 479 this morning, fruit plate, yogourt and warm croissant for everyone in J' -no eggs. Also, no headset service

I too hope this is not a new standard. That said, the service on YOW-YYZ often had to be rushed (and often requiring two FAs) and I'd say that 25% of the time, I was served eggs that were still partly frozen - so this could be a time saving measure as much as a cost saving measure. Again, hopefully this was a one-off...

Short Haul (0:46 - 1:59)
0500 - 0959: Hot breakfast (Omelet + fruit + yogurt)
So, hopefully as you mentioned, it was a time constraint!

Sadly, this appears to be the new standard, at least YOW-YYZ, as we were served the cheese plate this afternoon. I made a comment to the SD, who responded that this was just implemented, as she also needs to help the other FA with Y service. Looks like a consequence of the new FA/Pax ratios

A bit OT but although staff were very friendly on both flights today, the service was well below what I have been used to on this Rapidair route. On both flights, they did not hand back the jackets (and in one case I even had to open the closet myself). Not that I care as I have my own, but headsets were not offered in J (and not available for sale in Y). Initial service shortly after departure and SD barely had time to check-in for additional drink orders.

What can I expect as a "snack" on short-haul flights departing after 10:00 am?
I'm on 446 (YYZ-YOW) in a few days, which departs at 10:10 am, and it's been a while since I've been on this route.
Hopefully it's not the stupid cheese plate...
Also, is it correct that short haul breakfast flights (YYZ-YOW for example) don't get the omelette anymore?

I like how crews seemingly circumvent the "Flex Meal Option" by asking for meal orders WAY after takeoff so by that time it's already too late to get your meal soon after take off.

But I do agree you shouldn't have to be proactive regarding this.

What about a 9pm from YVR to YEG in J? The initial post suggests a plated snack but perhaps this has been downgraded?
