Overall, I find Pinnacle to be consistently a great crew. I have often emailed DL about great service on them. I've not flown Mesaba, so I can't say.
But, in defense, part of the "issue" is the altitude (which, BTW, it TOTALLY a US thing....I've seen BA FAs set up a cart and serve bevs in literally 30 secs after take off (set up cart, 90 secs to first drink service starting).

The cruising altitude of JFK-DCA was FL160 while DCA-JFK was FL170 so that should not be an issue
