Once your flight case is in, the back corner where the air comes out is ideal for the massive water bottles.

Cupholders are useless for soda cans, they are too tippy. Now the 700's, now we're talking about real cupholders!!

I was rather fond of the cup holder on the 1900... Turn to F/O taxiing onto rwy and, "Here hold this"...

The CRJ has a cup holder in a cup holder. Not really, but it will catch any spill. And for the soda cans, try the soda can wedge under the side window, adjacent to the DCU1 & 2 inhibit switchlights (FO Side). It's an engineering marvel.

Nothing like finding a spitter in your cup holder.

Sorry 'bout dat... I usually try to recycle my grande joe cups post-caffeine consumption. The vented lids are marvelous at preventing the saliva-style oil spills and splatters found in your conventional nap-stuffed styro spitter; however, I strongly recommend only 2 recyclings, as the 'juice' has a tendancy to weaken the seams of the cup, resulting in some of the oil slick scenarios previously-mentioned for this particular cup holder.

wow, what a thread. i love it. how ridiculous was it to build a cup holder that is too small for a 12 oz. soda can? they really fixed a lot of problems with the 700 and 900 in general, and the cupholder is no different. another big upgrade was the window shade setup; although the real shades are still basically worthless, the curtain rod that they attach to is now flush with the roof - so laminated cards (e.g. checklists, EPC's, jumpseat briefing cards, etc.) fit smoothly into the jam. it's complicated to explain, but you'll be stuffing a host of items into the 200 curtain-jams to achieve this goal on a regular basis.

that's right, "curtain-jams."

I always grab one or two of the Delta plastic cups, put those in the cupholder, and then put the 12oz can inside those. Works great!

The cup holder is big enough for a 12 oz. can on the 100/200, it's just that the bottom of the holder has an indented center that is not as wide as a 12 oz. can. Now, if we were a regional carrier for a better airline, say....oh, I don't know...JetBlue, we would serve Arizona Iced Tea, which fit great into that smaller notch in the bottom. But, you know...Atlanta...home to Coca-Cola and the most annoying airline ever.

Anyone else have a problem with the ashes from their cigarette blowing around while trying to use the ashtray? Luckily the packs on the 100/200 suck, so the breeze from the A/C is not too great, but still blows the ashes around
