Dumb question, though, is there no closet in the galley or somewhere to hang coats for FC passengers? On my first flight, the FA just told me to throw it in the overhead bin. If this is the case, it seems like it'll make overhead storage all that more compact. I wonder if the E175 storage is better.[/QUOTE]

Just in FNT-DTW on one of these... 17 air minutes and 10 waiting in 1A to take off... these first impressions: no overhead on the single seat row worth anything except maybe coats; hard seat bottom is better than regular CRJ but not by much, no time to tell about seat back but overall seats are nothing special; offered preflight and inflight drinks, unusual on the FNT-DTW skip; had my coat on my lap for the whole trip as nobody offered to hang it up.

Final... for sure better than a CRJ for short hops but will stay with everything else FC for anything longer. And now... off to MIA.
