The timing just didn't work out when getting to EWR - and as I know now (but didn't a few weeks ago), my travel will be mainly PHL to MIA/FLL/TPA/MCO/JAX. I took AA to Miami, but as far as direct flights go...looks like I'm on US for a lot of the rest.
Here's hoping that (as in many places) the negative posts outweigh the positive ones just because most positive experiences never get posted.
Update you soon! I miss EWR already, can't believe I'm even saying that...EWR is just....home.
I have flown the US E190 many times, including as far as DCA-MCI.
I have never had a bad experience. The planes are clean, the legroom is better than on the CoEx E145's. Service is professional and the on-time record is excellent (US is actually doing very well in this category).
Also, I find US's coach seat considerably more comfortable than the CO coach seat.
