Narrative:

Crew was to have breakfast on the flight X from cos to dfw. Breakfast was a slice of melon and a few grapes. This is not proper nutrition for the aircrew. This occurred after the flight office was asked to put crew meals on for this flight. Supplemental information from acn 299576: crew was scheduled to have dinner from dtw to bna. No crew meals were catered on the aircraft. Called dispatch and he said that he would put dinner on for us on flight Y bna-ord flight Y was catered with crew meals. However, it was not dinner that was put on board for us to eat. We received a snack. It would be nice if the crews could get the proper crew meals!
