If I look at the E170 DL profile it says there is a limited number of F seats. However, the seat map online does not show any F, all Y. Just wondering what is true... Are there E170's with F and DL is in the middle of adding seats?
Let me try to clarify this...as a Shuttle America flight attendant, I deal with it daily.
The SHUTTLE AMERICA breakdown is as follows: There are E170's in a 70Y, E170's in a 6F/64Y and E175's as 12F/64Y.
E170's in 70Y are mainly used for flying in/out of DTW, including your GRB-DTW flight. These are supposedly in a temporary all coach arrangement. (Go for the A/B side of the aircraft, more leg room ... 17 rows on A/B side, 18 rows on C/D side)
E170's F/Y are used out of LGA mainly,but to a lesser extent DTW/MSP/MEM.
E175's are mainly working the LGA-DCA/ORD flights.
**That's not to say one might not be substituted for another**
As for Compass aircraft, I have no idea. And as for the 9F/60Y configuration, that has been the rumour, but we have yet to see any concrete evidence of this on our end...yet. But we are usually last to know!
