Don't forget EK, LA and - dare I mention it - QF (Jetconnect).
Suddenly, I don't think so lowly about the QF TT Y meals any more.
In saying this though, you still get Space+ or Y+ on NZ rather than QF which has stuff-all. But cutting down on meals? Not a good idea. Cut meals altogether? Mega-dumb idea.
I'm hoping that the cost cutting and resulting flying culture in the US for short-haul is not setting a precedent for down under.
