As of 9/21:
Flights under 900 miles
Flights over 2,200 miles* / over 4.5 hours
**Some domestic and short-haul international flights will include a fruit and cheese plate instead of tray meal service and will also have snack basket service before landing.
cmd320 notation (unofficial): the 2,200mi + section for F and J is a bit misleading. Domestic flights within the continental US other than premium transcons (JFK-LAX/SFO, MIA-LAX on 77W) do not receive a full meal and instead only see a sandwich/fruit and cheese plate.

AA1925 ORD-SAN 12/5/20 departing at 8:17AM. Breakfast offerings included the Fruit and Cheese Plate in addition to Turkey Croissant and Yoghurt plate. Very generous FAs with multiple passes through cabin offering beverages. Shared cheese plate with my traveling companion which included mixed nuts (not warmed). Croissant was a disappointment and very dry.

Sounds about right, which is why I don’t fly out of PHX.

HQ determined that the liability associated with the risk of knife cuts to the preparer's hands outweighed the cost savings. Accordingly, the project aiming to make the wedge smaller and smaller until it contains just one piece of pulp has been abandoned (or at least delayed until a robot capable of safely making "appropriate" wedges is acquisitioned).

Next time, try to book through MIA, as even the midnight 77W gets full Flagship service but yes CLT yes no love

That said, I’m still happy to see all the domestic 777 and 787 services currently. AA is certainly earning my business away from Delta this year, at least domestically (which is really all most of us are flying at the moment).

Agreed, it’s honestly become my favorite flight in the system at this point, at least for domestic.

Yes, that's because QF doesn't have any serious competition domestically and all the corporate contracts would go to them since no one trusts Virgin Australia. However, QF also lets pax bid for upgrades and has a large frequent flyer pool so I doubt they are selling that many J tickets at the full fare.
