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.

Lets see how that "beverage service" will actually work and if those FAs will deliver. Odds are not in our favor on this.

Is this the same with Eagle FAs? I think it's disappointing that they can't follow their mainline counterparts...from the pax perspective, it's all the same airline even if it's not on the backend.

No, even on midcons all I've been getting is the same snack bag the whole plane gets and on shorter flights no food at all.
It is the same. I had a couple Eagle flights last week (an E75 and an CR7) and they still did drinks.

Until AA provides a link to book on envoy.com or mesa.com this trend will continue.

Update from a weekend trip with some longer flights, all in F
5/29 AA 1537 RDU-ORD A-319: No PDB, full beverages in F, request only in Y. No food in F though I saw the FAs eating bags of pretzels
5/29 AA 1838 ORD-PHX 737-800: No PDB, full beverages in F, request only in Y. The whole plane was given this bag when boarding:
5/31 AA 1920 PHX-DCA A-321NEO: No PDB, full beverages in F (lots of refills too), request only in Y. The whole plane was given this bag when boarding:
5/31 AA 4441 DCA-RDU EMB-175: No service of any kind in either cabin. The lead FA disappeared to the back the whole flight
The way home was rough. The lone place open at PHX was a Wendy's with a huge line. Nothing at all was open at DCA.

Loving the full sized water bottles AA is giving out (ahem DL).
Interesting the water AA is giving out is Nestle branded and AA also just swapped in Nestle sparkling lime water in lieu of Dasani.....coincidence?
