Couldn't find seats on EWR-FLL flights and back for our dates, hence the routing via IAH. All four segments were full or oversold (initial flight from YYZ offered us the option of DL through ATL, but we stuck with the original routing). Now I know why FTers bemoan long flights on the E145s. How about three hours fifty five minutes scheduled from YYZ-IAH. The Mrs. and I arrived after sitting on what became the concrete seats for the last two hours of the flight, with aching backs and buns. CO used to have at least two mainline aircraft on the route each day, now it's only the ERJ's. Seeing how full and oversold the flights are, wouldn't it make sense to add at least one mainline flight daily?

The IAH-FLL flights were also totally full, outbound on the B752, and returning on Feb. 20 on the B739.
