On some domestic flights with meals, special meal orders are no longer offered by DL. I think this includes RJs and shorter mainline flights, but I don't know the exact rule. Also, IIRC special meals must be ordered 48 hours in advance, so with a last minute ticket purchase, this could be a problem as well as when there are IROPs or the person chooses to SDC.
