What is it? Specifically, it's an airplane catering truck. This is the truck that brings the pilots' crew meals to the jet. Let's just say that most of the crew meals that are put on the plane in Seattle, which is the majority of the meals I receive since that's where I'm based, are less than salutary. Meals catered in any other city, or country, any time, anywhere, are more edible. In what can't possibly be a coincidence, notice what it says on the back of the truck: "REGULATED GARBAGE." It's all part of the glamorous life of the airline pilot.

For what the airlines charge for ticket prices, and for all the hassle of having to deal with the TSA, you would think you could get a nice meal as a reward.
So airplane pilots are like truck drivers. Both are stuck behind the wheel for endless hours at a time, eat poorly, and are rarely ever home. At least the stewardesses are prettier than the "lot lizards" at the truck stops......
The Wall Street Journal reported last year:
Average domestic airfares, adjusted for inflation, have fallen 16% since 1995, according to the Transportation Department. A round-trip ticket that in 1995 would have cost $410.30 (in 2010 dollars), including nominal bag and reservations fees, now goes for $337.97, and that includes $21.66 in bag and reservations charges, the DOT says. Stripping out those fees, the current fare is down an inflation-adjusted 21% from 1995.
