Was expecting much better from DL, and I suppose this is part of why UA feels it can do this.
It doesn't really have anything to do with flight length. The meal box station list (smaller stations where DL does not have catering contracts due to limited number of flights that qualify for meal service) is well documented on DL forum and likely has little to do with UA decision to match DL/AA 900 mile meal policy.
