Yes the inaugural PSM-CMH route on N521VA. The interior was leather Recaro seats that actually had a decent amount of room. No seatback pocket, but rather a plastic holder above the tray table for the safety cards. No ads except the Recaro label on the tray table lock.
I didn't have time to bring food on board and had an early morning CMH departure keeping me from leaving the airport -- for that reason I tried their $10 meatloaf which was probably a 4/10. Hardly the gourmet that they claim.
There were sponsored PA announcements and they do come around with a cart trying to sell all of the same .... you find in Skymall catalogs.
Overall not a bad experience if you can get a $10 fare. If not, don't even bother!! UA/AA/WN/NW/CO win anyday. And who the hell would pay $330 one way on them when they could probably have WN for equal or cheaper???
