Hope you don't book last minute onto one of these!
I'll take that trade-off. 12F on a plane that size looks like a slam dunk upgrade, even if purchasing only 2-3 days out, especially because I wouldn't expect to see them running hub-hub often. Pretty slick plane in economy too though with an airbus's seat width but no middles. Anything that hastens the departure of the CRJ is a big ^
