I agree that the RJ's are worth avoiding, and maybe the new economics of air travel (esp. higher gas prices) will force the airlines to consolidate some of those flights onto larger metal, but having seen the offerings of both CO and DL, I choose the CO RJ's. Maybe it was just a bad experince last night (the FAs were *terrible*
) but I was unimpressed with the total package.
I also think I got screwed by Expedia on this flight. For whatever reason, I had to go ORD>ATL>AUS when ORD>CLT>AUS would have been faster/cheaper without being any more painful.
