Delta E190 wishlist
I was looking at a thread about the A321 and it got me thinking about DL's upcoming E190's. We know they are getting 19 of them and not sure when they are supposed to enter service. Sounds like they are Ex- Air Canada. But what would be on your wishlist for these planes to have? IFE, Power, etc?

Lots of FC seats.
Big bins.
Ovens are probably a stretch.
A large FC lavatory.
A moat with gators/crocs to keep coach passengers out of the FC cabin during flights.

The current regional jets are flown by DCI and are limited to 76 seats.

Power seems a likely bet, in F and Comfort+ if perhaps not cabin-wide. They're putting power in some CR7 retrofits, right?
In the absence of a DL cabin config statement I'll bet against IFE. Similarly 'short range' mainline aircraft do without: MD-88, MD-90, 717.

I guess for IFE it will depend on how they use them, AC uses them on some pretty long routes like YYZ-SEA (5.2hrs), YOW-YYC, YYZ-DEN etc.

I flew on BE in 2014 BHD-BHX on an EMB-190; all Y configuration, close to 120 seats. I sat near the back (they boarded from both ends of the aircraft). 45 minute flight; nice ride. I think that is my only experience on a 190; I've been several times on EMB-175s operated by the DL connection, and really like the F seating.
