[HIC]For a 1-2 hour flight, the Embarer is one of my favourite aircraft. You see, it has four advantages:
i) I can have both a Window and an Isle seat at the same time.
ii) They cruise at the same altitude as a wide bodied transcon jet. This makes for a smoother flight than the Avros or Fokkers I often find myself travelling on.
iii) In my experience, the leg room on Embarers has always been much better than the larger 737s you might expect to see on European/US domestic routes.
iv) Two words: "Cabin Pressure"! This Internaut is suffering from a cold at the moment and today's flights on an F100 and F70 were murder for my hearing an sinuses (I never have this problem on my favourite Brazillian regional jet).
