This seems to just be a play at taking market share away from AS.

IMO the E175 is still a much more comfortable plane (at least an AS E175 vs the DL A220).
Yes, the meal is a big step up as normally they would not serve any meals in FC on a flight of this length (679 miles). The regular threshold for a meal in FC on DL flights is 900 miles.
