Not sure where to put this question so I will put it here only, sorry about starting a 2nd thread: I have seats 2C 2D outgoing on ERJ Embraer 175 and return I have seats 3C and 3D. On Seatguru it has a yellow/warning for the first row, seats 1C and 1D stating "bulkhead and proximity to galley and restrooms." If I dont care about the proximity to bathrooms and galley, what is the LEG room with these first row seats if anyone knows? Is there MORE vs the rows behind because it is the first row or the same? If more, how much more? I think those seats are still available if I was to change.
I don't know specifically about AS's configuration, but E75s are pretty standard. There's definitely more knee room in 1C/1D. In terms of leg room, I get more leg room by putting my feet under the seat in front of me.

Do posters here normally give actual flight #'s to better identify the plane, is that risky to give that out? Anyway, can I assume for Alaska and this plane the configs are all the same?
All E75s are equal. (Really, E175s are pretty much equal even across airlines: there isn't much choice in how to configure a 76-seat E175.) If they weren't, no one (including Alaska) would have any idea which configuration you're likely to get on the day of flight, so the fight number wouldn't help in this case. Personally, I generally prefer non-bulkhead (especially when traveling with my partner so getting up to allow the window person to access the aisle is nothing, instead of simply no big deal) because you have to put all bags in the overhead bin for takeoff/landing in the bulkhead.

Lastly, my wife and I middle names are on our Real ID driver's licenses. We are flying domestic. All my research so far says middle name is not needed on ticket. Will that be the case for our domestic Alaska Air flight? I have booked the tix but if I need to add middle names i can do that to our Alaska Air account and then the tix would have the middle name on there even though when I BOOKED them online at our Alaska Air account they did not have our middle names?
Differences in middle names or suffixes (Jr etc) or titles (Mr/Mrs/Ms/Dr/Sir) are routine and don't matter. They get glommed together in a wide variety of weird ways by ticketing systems, and TSA is used to that. I wouldn't worry about it. Of course ensure that the first and last name, date of birth, and gender agree between your ticket and ID. Changing after booking is very difficult if not impossible.
