BTW, before someone feels the need to correct me and tell me ASA is now Expressjet, I will continue to call it ASA until they prove otherwise. I fly Expressjet on CO (UA) flights all the time, and have never had a problem.
I try to book away from both the CRJ and ASA, but it is sometimes just not possible.
Bets on whether ASA will have air conditioning on the CRJ this summer?
Is it safety or on-time performance that you worry about with the CRJ?
