The newer crj interior with lowered floor and bigger bins is nice though. Ride wise I like the crj over the e170. The crj wing pop gets disconcerting sometimes though.
Best way I’ve heard it put is in turbulence the crj vibrates vertically like driving down a gravel road. The ejet on the other hand fishtails back and forth, rather violently might I add. The cabin is nicer on the ejet no doubt about it, but the ride quality on that bird is absolutely brutal.
