(What's wrong with a 175? Two across in coach, quiet, good aircraft.)
Hey, hey, no reason to throw around -200 threats like that. Those are used by the CIA for stress position training....
I really like the 175s. Lots of F and Y is fairly comfy. I wish they had kept 175s. I actually would get CPUs to clear on 175s.

I bring my own padding....

Oh, I flew the 145s. 1A twice a month. Cold as HECK in the winter- I felt like a waist gunner on a B17 bomber, plus the side comes in just enough that your left foot can't lay flat... Plus, they moved the Friday return to after 7pm- which is useless because getting to the airport during rush hour was a hit or miss- and the inbound was usually jacked and I got home after midnight usually. Dark days.
700s weren't bad, still a bit tight in Y if you had another bog fella next to you.
