I have a bit of a penchant for regionals, both jets and turboprops. I've always loved them since I was a kid, including the novelty of getting to walk out and board the airstairs. And I agree with everyone about the F seats. Probably my favorite out of Delta's fleet. Fortunately, I've never had to go more than an hour on a regional; it surprises me that Delta hasn't added at least power ports in the CRJs. For routes around 500 mi, it isn't that big of a deal. My laptop can last for quite a while with wifi off, screen brightness down. But I really can't imagine being on one of those 3 hour routes. No AVOD, no power, just cabin service. Even the new E jets don't have it, but I'm guessing that's because they tend to do shorter shuttle-type flights?
