That said, it could be transitional - slowly transitioning US service windows to that of AA's. September is plenty of time away...
It could be a matter of the catering suppliers on the US side. The US stations which currently do not have catered meals in F, might be double-catered out of the hubs in the interim period until September, when a better system can be implemented with the suppliers. However, I don't see the current AA meal flight-length remaining longterm. Aside from key business markets, I think 800-900 miles will be the minimum.
