- a First Class cabin with 6 F seats
- normal sized overheads that can accomodate most roll-aboards
- F seats on the E170 will have a 36" pitch and be 20.25" wide
- Y seats on the E170 will have a 32" pitch and be 18.25" wide
For comparison, the Y seat width on the 738, MD88, 757, 767, 777 is only 17" meaning the E170 will have some of the widest Y seats in the entire DL system. Plus, Y seating will only be 2x2 unlike on the 738, 757 where there are middle seats.
You forgot to list some of the best aspects:
- The world-renouned efficiency of DL Connection Carriers (especially ASA)
- Warm, friendly, efficient DL Connection ground and in-flight staff
- Convenient "tarmac-boarding" in Atlanta
- Taxiing around the terminal for hours in ATL, looking for a parking space
