I ment to say under 1,540 miles, sorry. That was about 3 years ago, I was on the same Delta flight last week, and was served a decent snack, but they ran out of white wine about half-way.

It was back in the Cal-Lite days, about 1994, that Continental cut meals on flights under 2:30. I think that it was the result of the customer response to that cost-cuting that caused CO to become today's meals-at-mealtime airline.
