I am sitting on a 175 right now, and pretty happy. SFO/STL with a 1:05 departure. Hot towel service, nuts and beverage both in real glassware, and three menu choices for lunch. Real plates and silverware. I had the wrap with Thai aioli. It was good. Had quite a bit of chicken..enough that I ate all I wanted and still had a couple of good-sized chunks to slip into my dog's Sherpa bag! Hey, he's flying in F too!

Had the new meal on YYZ - IAH
Republic (GoJet maybe?) operated E-jet. An improvement for sure, but the contract FAs need some training.....My FA (bless her heart) was baffled by the quinoa salad, and called it a "seed bowl"......

Has anyone heard anything more specific about when in April the new service standards on Q400s and CRJ7s can be expected? I hit it off with a great Republic FA this weekend who seemed very much on top of her game but and she'd heard rumblings about the new standards but nothing more specific. This suggests to me they won't be rolled out April 1 or anything.
