Do&Co will only be supplying the food for the LHR JFK route plus from a few outstations and this will be of a much higher quality, this wasn’t what we were told during training and speaking as crew I feel let down.
BA would say that there is more food and more choice, let’s see?
Starters are currently loaded to 100% and this will stay the same.
Salads are currently loaded to 100% and this is being reduced to 20% but will get 20% soup, BAs spin is that means that starters are being increased from 100% to 140% where actually it’s being decreased from 200%.
Main course salads have been removed and replaced but extra hot meals, no increase and still at 120%.
I have not been able to work out if we have more desserts and cheese but I’m guessing that we have.
So there you have it, less food, nicer china, better bedding and service delivery routines that doesn’t work.

I heard a joke about the railways a few days ago that equally applies here.
Alex Cruz and Doug Parker (AA CEO) are being interviewed about the same level of investment they're making in their airlines. The interviewer starts off by asking Alex what he has planned. "Well" he says "We are going to introduce new catering where the food is restaurant quality, produced by new caterers. Everyone will get their own choice of starters, mains and dessert. We'll offer customers seriously good bedding and the whole thing will be designed to be easy for the crew to serve.
"Okay" the interviewer says "now Doug what about your plans" Doug looks at the interviewer and smiles. "We're going to give all our business class customers a Rolls Royce trip to the airport from anywhere. We're going to give them a personalised journey from the moment they arrive in the airport to the time they get on board. There will be a personal massage available to anyone who wants it on board and another Rolls Royce waiting at the airport to take them to their final destination. Oh and we'll be cutting our carbon emissions by 99%."
Stunned the Interviewer says "Erm Doug that all seems a bit far far fetched doesn't it?"
"Well Alex started it" comes the reply.
