Unfortunately, when it comes to inflight meals, there's just not enough return to justify making any improvements. Even back when the meals were actually good and there were 13 different options one could request from Hindu to Diabetic to Lacto-ovo vegetarian, people still complained.

As one who enjoys a good steak as much as the next guy, I'd honestly have no complaint if Alaska decided to go completely vegetarian with its meal service. I love vegetarian food. Just imagine if the money they saved from using meat products were reinvested into a better quality vegetarian meal service ... *!?* Uh... wait a minute ... Sorry, a nice bit of day dreaming there... What was I thinking?!

Any savings Alaska derived by cutting meat from its meals would never be reinvested into better meal service. Rather, the savings would simply contribute to improved quarterly profits and it would be left at that. No doubt the spin-meisters would still find a way to pass this off as an "enhancement" to Alaska's "distinctive" inflight service. We could debate it for awhile in a separate thread and then we'd move on to something new like Alaska's new service from say - Boise to Honolulu. Life goes on, people marry and die, frogs are disected, Pinkerton does not return...

As long as they don't mess with the Mileage Plan, they should be able to cut us right down to military style seating and a bag of snack mix.
