Only in MSP for three days. Was good to leave -11 degrees and fly south - anywhere.
CRJ900 is a little tight in width in the cockpit but in the cabin like you said seats are all leather and comfortable if you are average sized. First class seats are very comfortable regardless of your size. Cabin is alo quieter than either the NWA A 320s or NWA DC 9s.
It does climb phenomenally well for a transport category jet. With every seat filled, it will climb out at better than 4000 FPM initially all the way up to around 26,000. Then it will maintain better than 1500 FPM after mid FL 250 all the way up to upper FL 300s (in Summer or in Winter).
