I flew IAH-SDF this past Sunday night which is a CO-x (ERJ-145) flight of about 2 hrs in length. It was well past a meal time (7:00pm departure/10:17pm arrival), yet I was pleased to not only receive a full beverage service (with several passes through the cabin), but a small snack. [/B]</font>
Try getting said snack on 2-3 hour mealtime mainline EWR-TPA/FLL/MCO! Surprise
, 'full-service' Continental will be happy to supply you with all you can eat pretzels and hard liquor to wash them down with, in FC...
And as far as deluxe COEX service is concerned
... well, let's say that there are nice small regional airlines like SkyWest and Comair that have much more consistent good service. The fact that you can now fly from RIC to PSP on an ERJ and from FL to NH on a CRJ (I will do that myself in Nov!) is a chilling reminder to the future of 'full-service' (it may be crappy, but it's full) airlines!
