I just think they're very narrow planes and I think the seat pitch must have shrunk at they installed the FC. And one bathroom on a 70-seater is pushing it, and the FA jump seat making 5 across is chintzy. The airplane seems to be a solid machine but 1x2 seating would be better. Its not a big deal on short flights, but about an hour is all I want on one.

The E-jet felt or is wider and the windows are big and it just had a big jet feel and I liked riding in it a lot. But if we can get 3 MD90s for the price of 1, I can see why we're not making a move to have E190s here.

From a pax standpoint, and comparing coach seats (excluding exit rows), I would take the E-jet or the 2-seat side of the 88 over everything we had in the PMDAL fleet. Sad to say. I'll take the CRJ over a middle seat any day though. Of course I've heard the Bus' are comfortable, I'd like to try one some day.

Did I mention I'm 6'5"? I kind of don't fit in anything we have and I cannot lean my head back in any mainline airplane as the seat backs only come to my shoulders. But thats just my observation and something that is all very low on my complaint totem poll this evening.
