Inflight coffee machines have improved in that regard.

Next logical step would be to have McD's cater the BoB items, but IIRC WS doesn't have ovens so that's unlikely since most McD items would have to be heated.
Apparently Tim Hortons did try to get this deal http://www.theglobeandmail.com/repor...ticle32949736/

"Tim Hortons Inc., the country’s largest café chain, has yet to partner with an airline and, according to industry sources, was unsuccessful in trying to nab the WestJet coffee business. Starbucks Canada also failed to win the WestJet contract, the sources said."
