New CRJ900s (fins 722-730)

So I finally got to operate one of Jazz's new CRJ900s with Bombardier's atmosphere cabins, and I have to say, I'm impressed.

First advantage, they've finally done something with the overhead bins. I'd estimate them to be roughly E175/190 size, didn't have a way to get a measurement however, every rollerbag fit, didn't have to check anything (Y was full).

Mood lighting in the cabin were nice, cruise setting makes it a nice light blue, eaiser on the eyes.

Lavs (oddly espically the Y lav) are improved, felt like could actually wash my hands properly. (Y lav is the whole width of the cabin, J lav is the same size)

110V plugs + USB port at every row (Every seat in J gets plug plus USB, Y gets a plug+USB per pair) in Y plugs are attached to the row ahead, so you can actually see what you're plugging in, vs the older style that your plugs are forward facing attached to your own row.

Now... Downsides

No IFE currently installed, unsure if this is will be rectified

723 (only one I've worked) didn't have WiFi, this will be rectified, but don't know the timeline.
