Huh?

The E175 is more comfortable in first (think A seats) and coach (zero middle seats) than the crap B738s that AA normally uses on MIA-PTY.

Fun fact: I've connected through PTY to get to NAS. The CM E190 that operated PTY-NAS was quite comfortable.

I am surprised though that RPA's OpsSpecs allow them to fly to Panama. I thought that to date they had only operated within the US and Canada.
