Also there really is no excuse to not have hot meals on all 1,500+ mile flights as UA has been offering them since June 15th with no issues. DL can’t blame staffing or supply issues if UA can offer them just fine so it’s clearly DL cutting cost while charging a ridiculous premium to fly their airline over AA and UA right now!

Yes. I strongly supported their efforts during Covid, but any and all cost-cutting measures lost all legitimacy once they started filling all seats again.

I'm guessing that, at this point, they just don't have to spend more. Summer airfares are through the roof and they are making up losses. Still, sucks.
