There was a thread about this in july or august under the United board (set your flyertalk server for WAY back). The summary was that they are far, far better than the prop planes that UA used to fly on routes now served by them (more comfort, *quieter* and faster...best of all they get ABOVE the weather rather than having to fly through it as J31s and 41s do).

But also that they were not as comfortable as even a 737 or a 757 in coach. Complaints included, as I recall, too cramped, claustrophobic feel, narrow aisles and small storage areas.

I have flown on 2 round trip routings (IAD-ATL and IAD-TPA) and they were fine. Not great, not horrible. Fine.
