Hi everyone. I was just looking for flights between MSP and CLT in November and noticed that some flights are now operated by "CR9." Has anyone else noticed this? Clearly, it must be due to the merger given that US Airways does not have any CRJ 900s at the time.

I believe it is HP's CR9's spreading out but am not sure.
Any reports about comfort level on these planes? Any better than a CRJ or CR7?

Was on a CRJ 900 about a week ago and row 1 was quite comfortable with lots of leg room. Seats were nice but the forward lav was very small.

Given that they have 86 seats @ 31 seat pitch, I think I'm gonna stay away from them. America West's CRJ 900s no longer have First Class. Shame.

Seeing as US will be parking about 60 mainline planes, it will be hard to avoid these on some routes. I noticed that CLT-IAH is one such route being infiltrated by these... PHL-IAH is all E70 jets now; and PHL-DFW is starting to go that way as well....
