Based on the press release, the new service is for flights 6.5 hours or longer, so I believe this eliminates trans-cons. Also, I just don't see DL eliminating the second meal service. I remember when UA tried to eliminate their mid-flight meal when they introduced their "improved" main dinner service. It went over so well that they brought the mid-flight meal back.

I didn’t see this posted yet. DL is improving the Main Cabin international experience. Starts in November.

There's been ongoing discussion tacked on to an existing thread:
Delta promises upgrades to long-haul economy
Splitting it out might not be a bad idea though.

I always thought that superior financial performance - even with low-margin if not loss-making coastal ops - was a product of having some powerhouse fortress hubs (ATL/DTW/MSP) and lucrative Amex cards

all of it helps, but Delta systemwide has a revenue premium over AA and UA

Customers can expect to be impressed on board Delta’s international routes*
Yeah, that 1.5 ounce bellini and chocolate square will definitely make me forget about the 30 inches of leg room I have on my next WAS-AMS flight. Right on, Delta.
