I took a picture of the scales readout and sent a rant when i got back.
On a separate note, Horizon have a great cabin crew. I think they are an all Q400 fleet so I wouldn't worry about getting priority boarding anyway. Just get a seat near the back and you get less vibration noise.
Thanks. It was the AS flights to/from SFO-SEA that I was more worried about. However even with a 737-700 up to SEA, I was surprised how much space there was in the overhead lockers. Seat pitch felt good too.
You're right about the Q400s. We ended up in row 9 and the vibration was pretty awful. I thought they were supposed to have noise/vibration suppression- it's either lousy or wasn't working.
