Updated: It is true, no more meals between 8 PM to 5 AM every day in first class on long-hauls. Meal has been replaced by the snacks for purchase program (EATS). This was confirmed both by corporate care and customer service.

We have to write to Delta voicing our opinions on this matter.

Delta's Reply:
--------------------------------------------------
Dear Mr. skchin,

Thank you for your e-mail describing your recent experience with Delta
and our Delta Connection partner, SkyWest Airlines. We regret the
circumstances you described and appreciate your taking the time to
share the details.

Your comments about our onboard service are appreciated. We realize
in-flight dining can add to the overall travel experience, and it is
unfortunate you were disappointed. The changes in our meal service are a part of Deltas comprehensive Transformation Plan to offer a less complex, value-driven customer experience. Accommodating our customers dietary needs is a service we want to provide. It is unfortunate there was a problem in this case.
Thank you again for giving us an opportunity to respond to
your concern. Customer feedback is an invaluable resource when
evaluating our overall operation. We very much appreciate your
Medallion loyalty to Delta and look forward to the privilege of serving you again
soon.

Sincerely,

Anthony M. D'lima
Manager
Customer Care
