A rule that you have probably never heard about is that pilots aren’t allowed to eat the same meal during the flight. This is so that both of the pilots don’t suffer from food poisoning as without them there is no one that is trained to land or fly the aircraft.

The pilot is usually given the first-class meal and the co-pilot is usually given the business class meal, it may seem kind of odd but this has probably happened before, and the reason why it is a rule that must be taken seriously.
