DL 4735 from SLC to SJD. Granted we are in F but not sure I've ever spent more than 2 hours on a CRJ900. Wonder whats the longest route they service?

Some other 3+ hour long routes the CRJ-900's service include NYC-Texas.

Overall, it is much preferable to a 737. FC is not bad at all, especially on the single side.

The CRJ-700 is one of the few airliners capable of operating out of ASE. I don't think Delta would have any other choice for ATL-ASE.

correct.

I don't believe the E70 is certified to operate out of ASE and I know the 175/CR9 isn't.

I used to like the CRJ900s but the last few I have been on are falling apart. I've had a lavatory issue on the last 3 flghts (2/3 had an inoperable lav). I agree that the single FC seat is nice but the older ones are falling apart.

I believe the CR9/E70/E75 fleets are going to be (getting currently?) a cabin re-fresh to match the CR7 product being rolled out.

(but obviously they won't be adding seats like they are on the CR7)

Hopefully now that the company is working on DCI that means a better interior standard comparable to mainline. (and carriers like GoJets being dumped from DCI completely.)
