True. Most search in Orbitz, Travelocity, Expedia etc for the cheapest fare and they do not even look at whether they will be flying on E175s or CRJs. In fact, I asked several passengers on my last trip and none of them could tell the difference between E175s and CRJ900s. They all said they are smaller regional jets which they do not like but have no choice.
