Question AUS-BOS anyone?

I used to fly DL, UA, and AA for traveling between Austin and Boston, but now with B6's new N/S, I've made my first ever B6 booking. Has anyone flown it? Yes, the BOS-AUS leg is at an ungodly hour of 6:45am, but I'm specifically looking for comments on:

- on-time departure. 6:45am is when so many of the AA flights leave for Latin America from BOS, so hopefully there isn't much competing air traffic for the runways
- comfort. Is an E190 (RJ+?) really adequate for a 4hr flight
- in flight. I've never flown B6 before, but for a 4hr flight at that time a day I would expect breakfast or a breakfast-type snack. Am I expecting too much? I guess I may have to get some breakfast burritos to go!
- check-in time. 45 minutes should be enough if I'm checking bags, right?
- company. I'm flying on a Friday morning. Has anyone flown this and can comment on % seats filled?

TIA.
