The DEN-ORD flight was 3 hrs late, leaving about 9pm... no food in concourse. When we get on the plane, where we sat for 2 of those hours, the FAs explain that due to their merger with Eastern, the DC10 was 'left handed' galley instead of 'right handed' and they had only been able load about 1/2 the meals needed... so they said they would give us two drinks in compensation. We were in back so we got a small bag of peanuts and one drink each. We eventually arrived about 4 hrs late, with a big hungry teenager not having any food since breakfast.

p.s. I have not flown CO since, nor will I.
