- This plane has two seats on each side of the cabin and a single aisle.
- Carry-on space is very limited; most roll-aboard luggage will need to be gate-checked.
- The aisle armrests of the non-window seats can be raised to allow for a little more room.
- The exit row seats (Row 8), marketed as Preferred Seating, do not have any significant amount of additional pitch and there is no arm rest next to the window.
- On a small number of aircraft the rows are number 1-12, 14 and exit row is row 8
- Row 1 is marketed as Preferred Seating
Economy Plus, however there is no significant amount of additional pitch. The bulkhead at this row means limited space to stretch your legs compared to other rows, and there is little overhead space available. - Row 2-5 are marketed as Preferred Seating
blocked for elites, but are standard pitch -- no extra leg space

I've never really notice any extra room in the exit row. The only advantage is the possibility of an empty seat next to you.

+1 Probably not a bad ride considering you are in the main fuselage just behind the aft cabin wall

Row 8
Just got off a CRJ200 operated by Alantic something or other airlines. I can confirm that row 8 has about 2 extra inches of leg room (both sides of the aisle) compared with row 7, which I also tried out. I would estimate row 8 has 33 inches of seat pitch given that economy has 31 inches. Also plenty of space to store your carryon briefcase under the seat in front of you (no obstructions). Seat cushions were thin, but I didn't notice that row 7's were any comfier.

I also just sat in row 8 for 2hrs and it was fairly tolerable. The kid in front of me who skrieked for the duration not so much.

Will be traveling with the wife and 2 kids DEN-MKE in August on a CRJ200. The bad news is that with a 5 and 2 year old, row 8 is a no-go, and row 1 is either blocked now or taken. The good news is that 5 and 2 year olds are small and so sitting in the rows I reserved (2 and 6) will be less of a shoulder-bumping chore.
Which is helpful because DEN-MKE is scheduled at 2 hrs, 20 minutes, and the return a soul-killing 2:39. I wonder if this is the longest currently scheduled CRJ flight on UA/UX?
Such is the torture of a CRJ200 that even in a year when I will need to scrap and scrape and scrounge miles even to make 1P, I was looking into paying slightly more on Frontier for a comparbale itinerary just to avoid flying the -200.

DEN-MRY is a bit longer. Seems like there may be longer-still routes in service with them, but that one comes to mind (2:43).

Uh, yeah. My MR this weekend takes the prize: It involves a LAX-SEA-LAX quick turn on a CR2. It's blocked at 2:43 one way and 2:45 the other way, with 0:30 on the ground in between. OMG! I was hoping to VDB the outbound, but it might not be worth it. Maybe I'll standby for the earlier flights on CR7s.
PS both flights left at 48/50 so my VDB attempts failed.

New seat maps?
Does anyone know why rows 3 and 4 now show only two seats rather than 4? This appears to be a relatively new thing (seatguru still shows 4). I was thinking that it might have something to do with the merger, but the CO seatmap for the CR2 also shows 4 seats per row.
So I'm wondering what's going on. Are they just blocking those seats for weight and balance reasons? They routinely look for volunteers to move back. In any case, one might guess that these are good seats to book (for those of us who appreciate the extra elbow room and the ability to angle the legs).

Thanks 
It seems clear from that thread that it is in fact a weight-and-balance thing. Those rows seem like as good a place to park as any (for a single). Or I guess I should say that they are no worse than any other seat, since all CRJ's are an abomination.
