Color me confused.

You just nailed it. The appeal of an RJ145/135 is the one seat side, plus an exit row with leg room (or better still - both)! Now that the 135's are going to the desert, ABE -CLE (a common route for me when I am trying to avoid EWR) is now serviced mostly by Q200's and I dont like 'em.

I have also flown the Q400. Same thing but a little quieter and longer.

To the other comment if you dont like it, fly something else: Then I get stuck on CRJ's and they are worse!
