What happens if someone in C+ were to request a drink?

Be careful what you wish for: no fifty seater aircraft would mean no or reduced DL service to a number of smaller airports.

First time I experienced C+ on this plane last year sometime and ordered a drink, FA charged me for it. I said cocktails are free in C+, she said that was news to her. Didn’t argue...not worth it for $8 or whatever.
Did you complain to DL and request a refund? That's how FAs are educated.

- I live in Dayton, but i regularly drive to CVG just to avoid the 200 to DTW and MSP. The only issue is a trip to PHL that is only served by a 200.
-The first row of a 200 is horrible. No room, no real benefit. I have asked to be "downgraded" back to row 8(exit) more times than I can count.
- I travel a TON but am no expert on aircraft selection. having said that: it would be so nice if the 200 was replaced with CRJ 700 or 900. It cant be that much of a difference in runway length needed so it could still serve the smaller airports.

Rant over. #retirethe200
It's more a matter of right sizing the aircraft or in other words capacity discipline.

Almost every seat on almost every aircraft type is fine for a short flight if the seat next to you is blocked.
