From previous entries you may have seen the offering of food on aircraft as we jet across the blue sky, looking down at the white cloud tops, the rivers meandering down to the sea, the towns and cities, and the roads and railroads linking them.

I wonder how many people realise I am up here?

Aircraft food is pretty standard really in the quality, it differs in the content.

Turkish Airlines offer reasonable food for a three and a half hour flight. It is usually hot, and you do get a choice of two main meals, mostly chicken or pasta.

My last flight offered the usual, and in the cramped seating I was able to stave off my hunger.



Chicken and rice, a little bit of salad being mostly carrot, a dessert which I think was a sponge base with a toffee mix, topped with I think a pineapple slice. There was a warm brown bread roll, with a small tub of butter and cheese. I drank an orange juice, but there was a reasonable selection of drinks on offer including wine.

Tea and coffee is always served after the empty trays are collected, when most passengers also return there cups. So, when the flight attendant does the rounds offering tea or coffee, 90% of the passengers cannot have one, as they have given back the cup.

It is a great lesson, try and get into the minds of the people we interact with. In this case I think it is a way of cutting down the workload and costs.

Then again, I am usually wrong when I try and read peoples minds.

How often do you jump to conclusions on peoples actions or words, putting your understandings, your cat on the mat or cat in the tree, and getting it wrong?

I do it a lot.
