Ah, OK. I read it too fast.

I get that "it just isn't right" but now that we can eat in the lounge pre departure (and I think it is a given that the lounge food is better than the inflight food ever was) what is the big deal with UA going to pre-plated food?

In every Polaris flight I've had this year, I've eaten in the lounges and asked the FA's to hold my meal until later and I ended up eating it two hours before landing and skipping the "breakfast."
