The exit row (8) on the CRJ 200 is very deceiving , as there does not appear to be any extra legroom like on the Dash, and the bulkhead in front of row 1 requires you to do leg contortions.
I wish they'd put some ERJ's on these routes. It's the least they can do, considering they cancelled service to PIT!
Yeah - AVP used to do the big planes in the glory days. The airport is still built for it - the Prez lands AF1 their every 2-3 months. I remain hopeful the newly burgeoning economy will eventually lead to real planes replacing the wind-ups.
