Of course the one example would be my regular route BOS-MEM that was changed from a A320 to a CRJ......
However, there's no airplane I'd rather fly out of BOS in a driving blizzard than a DC9 (seriously). CRJs get cancelled, and 757s rock like a sailboat in the wind. The only downfall of the DC9 is the weight restrictions and smaller F seats.
