If you go to airliners.net and do a archive photo search towards the bottom of the home page where the airplane is a erj-145, airline is AE, and the category is cabin views, you will get a nice shot of the cabin.
This week will be my first as well on that plane, and I did choose 1A, just because it looks like it has the most legroom. Thanks Superslug for the heads up on the carry-on. Also, Superslug, is it possible to do a gate baggage check? where they unload the bags as soon as you land and put it by the stairs?</font>
yes, all Eagle flights do gate-valet checking, even if you're at a jetbridge-only airport like ORD or LAX.
and do be careful when choosing seats not to confuse the 140 with the 145. the exit rows are offset by 1.
If you can't get the exit row, the prioritized list of seats would be 1A, 4B, 4C, anything else...
