As an airline pilot, I'm told I can't deduct meal expenses anymore. Is this true? If so, why is the box still on the Federal form?
If you are a W-2 employee you cannot deduct job-related expenses on your federal return. The "box" is still there because information flows from the federal return to your state return, and some state tax laws are different.
