But there have been hot meals for the crew. This morning on ATL-PHX the person seated next to me in 2A was battle field upgraded and the only thing left was the granola cereal, he even asked about a hot meal, and was told that is all there was left. However both pilots, along with at least two of the main cabin FA's were served hot meals as I watched them be pulled out of the oven after the FC meals service was over. When it happened to me a couple of weeks ago and all that was left was the greek yogurt, after seeing the pilots and FA get hot meals, I asked the first class flight attendant why there were hot meals available for the crew but not the passengers...and he sniped back..."that is just the way it is".
