A good cold salad from many takeaway places and grocery stores is better than 90% of airplane meals.

That's really setting the bar low and making excuses for them. Food can be good in flight, it just requires smart, creative people and a slightly larger budget. As the world's largest airline that's raking in record profits while "going for great," AA has literally no excuse for not offering stellar meals to premium customers.
