Heh.....wait until you fly TAM in Brasil.
On the CGH-SDU (Sao Paulo-Rio) "ponte-aerea" flights that I have been on, you always get a hot meal in the 45 minute trip about 90% of the time. Other times you get a loaded and tasty sandwich box.
Last week I had this really quite good, and hot, canneloni dish with dessert and 2 free alcoholic drinks all for R$110.....about $45 USD....including the flight by the way.
This isn't an RJ, or biz/first, but in economy on a usually 3/4 full A319/320 series aircraft.
This airline could give several others a lesson in service. I did about 12 flights with them this year and have no complaints at all.
