First Class Meal Question - DCA-MSY
Hello everyone! I am a little confused about meals in first class and am sure that one of you can help me out.
On Wednesday, I flew DCA to MSY in FC on an E175. After looking at the website, I was under the (perhaps mistaken?) impression that there would be a three course meal served based on the time and duration of the flight (11:35am departure).
It turns out there was one pass with the snack basket, which contained chips, etc. (no sandwiches, though).
I am wondering if I misread something, or if the advertised service was simply not provided. It strikes me as odd because when I flew from MCO to DCA in FC, which is a considerably shorter flight, there were more substantial offerings in the snack basket, but perhaps that had something to do with the fact that that was on a mainline aircraft?
I recognize this is the epitome of a first-world problem, I am just more curious than anything else!
Thanks for your help

Thanks PDXPremier, you are absolutely right. MCO - DCA was on a 319.
I took a look again at the relevant section on US' website, and the problem is that I automatically assumed that it applied to USX flights because it does not necessarily say that it does not (unless I am missing something).
Oh well, now I know. Thanks again!

It actually does say on the US website that there may be variations on US Express and American Eagle flights.

PMAA still serves meals on regional flights, PMUS, naturally, does not.
