Shabbos meal has nothing to do with it. Shabbos actually has a Chiyuv
for a better type of meal and one doesnt travel on airplanes on
Shabbos. Airline meals are most definitely a meal, and if and when not
provided, one finds people quite upset not just because they didn't get
what they paid for. Some people pack a Wurst roll just in case. Will
they use "Mezonos Bread" for that roll? I actually pined for airline
meals when returning from India (Hermolis meals) as they were the first
warm thing I ate in two weeks that wasn't out of a suitcase. I didn't say
"Feh". The El Al meals, Mehadrin, are also perfectly okay and acceptable
as are the ones out of Australia. It is most dangerous to make sweeping
subjective statements unless this was an attempt at humour. I also know
many people who have airline meals sent to remote locations where they
will be holidaying.
