i really, really dislike the RJ145. with a passion. it's tiny, cramped, has very little storage space and the seats are really uncomfortable. i avoid it at all costs but with my luck i always seem to somehow end up on them.

i've only taken the Q400 once. i don't really remember much about it except that i still found it to be pretty noisy. but it was the second time i've ever been on a prop plane (first time was back when i was in elementary school so i don't remember much) so i don't have much to compare it to in the way of previous gen prop planes.

i did feel a bit less miserable in the Q400. but not by much. but i've become used to the RJ145. or just gotten numb to it, however you want to look at it.

if regional jets are here to stay, the one thing i'm really looking forward to is the proliferation of the CR7. decent stowage space, E+ and "first class" seats... yes please.
