Thank you for the clarification. I tried to locate the info on airtran website to no avail. After 20 minutes on hold with airtran, those were the specs I was given. I thought the seat width was too much as that is the same as many first class seats. The rep gave me 23" and 40" for their business class.
I am getting to be more tolerant of the CRJs. Just wish they could find a way to use the jetway and add 1st class to the cr7.
