For those who think ill-behaved passengers fly only on WN, I recommend this:

Open seating avoids situations like this (truly one of FT's best threads):

That said, I love CO and fly them more frequently than fares or convenience would otherwise dictate. I would never choose US E190 over WN.
Personally, I think the US E-190 and the WN 737 are perfectly fine.

I actually prefer both to CO's 737 in coach, which is both cramped and brutally uncomfortable, thanks to CO's dreadfully hard and thin seat.

As far as the E-190, I think this is the best narrow-body a/c flying domestically today. The best versions are on B6 (leg room) and AC (AVOD & power at each seat), but the US E-190 is fine, too.

Remember, never a middle seat, real overhead baggage compartments. It's got all the advantages of a mainline narrow-body a/c without any middle seats.
