The executives have a weekly team lunch. It’s a regular meeting but it’s catered with food served on the airplane. (Most of the time, it’s with buy on board options from coach, but sometimes it’s the First Class food.)
So I guess even AS executives prefer the coach BOB options to the F class meals?
Other comment I have about all this: food tastes different at Fl 0 versus 35,000 ft. At altitude, the taste buds are less sensitive and food has to be seasoned more strongly. I still think the way to best get feedback on hot menu items is to serve them (free of charge) to real passengers on real flights, and then decide whether they make the cut or not.
