However, it seems that not all of these long HI flights have decent size/supply of BOB options and that should be improved.


I would be curious to know what percentage of 'average flyers' expect the flight will have a free meal.
This I think is the real issue. I doubt many travelers these days (American ones at least) expect a free meal in coach, however, when the FA's only get a third through the plane and then announce that they are out of everything except Twizzlers, that is what makes people mad.
