i can understand your disappointment in paying that much for "first class" on a commuter plane, i would be disappointed too. but when you booked the ticket did you notice the plane configuration on the seat map? or notice it saying operated by..ASA, comair, skywest etc? those can all be "delta airlines" but operated with the regional jets. 4 hours is a long flight especially paying the first class price just for a tad wider seat and a bit more leg room (not much on commuter first class) and no food, however with a plane this small their just isnt room in the carts or in the galley area. Delta just cant call and say "We would like a gate for this flight" doesnt work that way...would be nice if it did. i can see deltas point.. our industry's revenue environment has permanently changed, and we must operate our airline accordingly. i was shocked...on my last delta flight yesterday, not only were there pillows and blankets for free for us to use, but snacks for free!! Im actually suprised delta gave you anything. i bet the others that booked the first class tickets didnt get anything..of course they probably didnt say anything. However in my opinion, 4 hours on a commuter plane isnt right...too long for that type of aircraft unless your on the larger one (ERJ-175) but it sounds as if you were on a crj-200 or 700.
