When it's ABSOLUTELY necessary to take an Embraer I'll be in 1A

Also there are some stations where gate checked items go to the

baggage claim area (outside security)

Thanks
Regarding the claiming of gate checked items, I have seen these sent to baggage claim, that's true but, IIRC, usually in very small airports.

Obviously if you're in the front row, you're getting off as quickly as possible. But, as a general rule, RJ's unload more quickly since they have fewer passengers and, of course, there will always be somebody in the back of the plane...
