But I still haven't seen anything in regular ho hum coach that beats the E-Jets... the 88 (not 90 or 717) on the two seat side is about as nice as it comes at mainline.
After that any seat on the Airbus... until we change it or something.
my most painful seats to date were certain emergency exit row seats on the 757 and 717.

Why not? We have the best government money can buy.

Any other Seattleites see this?
Big order for big jets coming from Delta Air Lines
Apparently a Nov/Dec announcement
