And the comments about RJ's and uncomfortable???? Have any of you ever ridden middle seat on any boeing/airbus?!? Id GLADLY take ANY RJ seat over a middle seat. And mind you those middle seats tend to be on the longer flights...... 4+ hours crammed in a middle seat vs. 3 or less on an RJ....you decide....
Just had to chime in with a "damn straight." I just did CLE-MIA and CLE-DEN turns in the XR last week with 50 smiling faces each time. No weight restrictions, no stops, no skimping on fuel. Plus, I'll glady fly on an ERJ any day of the week over a 737. Get an A row seat and you get more legroom than a 737 with both a window and an aisle seat in one.
Okay, back to your regularly scheduled thread.
