I was browsing the Northwest Airlines web site, and was shocked to find that their Avro RJ-85 regional jets, operated by commuter affiliate Mesaba Airlines/Northwest Airlink, have a first class section with 16 seats (more seats than the DC-9s, the same number of seats as their A319/320s, and with a 37 inch pitch, they are considerably more roomy than any of those other NWA planes in F!) http://www.nwa.com/travel/trave/seatm/arj/index.shtml .

Before seeing this, I didn't realize that any RJs or prop aircraft, flown either by commuter or mainline airlines, had an F cabin, let alone one that was more accomodating than the big jets. Are there any other examples among US carriers? Worldwide?
