LOL. No. The only thing that would be higher would be their profit.
I doubt that would be. It doesn't take very many annoyed full-F pax leaving for other airlines to outweigh the cost of a lot of meals.

So can you get a car for 89 a month? Sure. People come into the dealer for the 89 price. They ignore the details. False advertising? Not even close.
So are you one of those folks who can sell ice to an Eskimo, as long as he chooses NOT to "see the details"? Is there an issue of ETHICS here?

In the current value system, ethics is not good business. :(

Any more information as to when this will be implemented?

I echo this question looking at a run to GRU in one week.

I'm leaning towards never.

What a shame. This was the one feature of AA's F service that I really appreciated; the 60% of the time it was actually acknowledged.

I reached out to Delta and got this back yesterday (asking about when):

"Hi René – I don’t have an update at this time, but will definitely share timing once we’re closer in."

So... thinking towards the end of the year but just a guess.

So "soon" is still a long time away?

Will C- passengers be able to pre-select snack basket items? :D

I'm not an IT person by any stretch of the imagination, but if DL can implement the bag tracking feature on the app; I don't see where the difficulty is in allowing pax to pre-select a meal which would be done ahead of time, rather than in real time. If any-thing, it would save on food costs once implemented. Execution aside, even AA offers this...

I imagine the catering logistics changes are more challenging to implement than the IT elements.

Also, I wouldn't expect pre-selection to save on meal costs, since the pre-selection won't be compulsory. That is, Delta will still provision a meal for each passenger even if they don't choose a meal in advance.

If I extrapolate from my poor experience with the bag tracking app, a request for a steak, medium rare, would yield the tofu surprise special meal with durian ice cream for desert.
