At times I think Term B at IAH should be it's own airport with the number of flights.
At least SFO-OKC uses a CR7. IAH-YYZ (which I haven't been on) is 1280 miles and now appears to be using at least some CR7, but still has at least one E45 daily on the days I checked, and I know in the past, had all been on E45. Admittedly, while CVG-DEN (1069 miles) is often CR7, right now its mostly E45 and its not a fun ride, IME. This is only made worse when taking the evening run, and departure is an hour late while "waiting for inbound aircraft", only it is scheduled as the same aircraft all day, yet the inbound isn't actually arriving late, just the bozos in scheduling deciding to use an aircraft for a 7:30 departure which isn't scheduled to land until 8.
