That aircraft belongs to Skywest, not Horizon. I don't think it is teething issues as Skywest has been operating E175's for years and has over 80 in their fleet.

What is the leg room like in 1A? Seatguru calls out a bulkhead instead of the unlimited legroom that the Delta Skywest E175s have, so I'm a little worried about how cramped it might be.

Row 1 does have a bulkhead as there is a closet on the CD side. The A side has a bulkhead partition.

It looks like 1A is offset a little bit behind 1C/D, so I think that'll work for me, thanks! I'm 198cm/6'6", so every extra bit of space is nice on a 4 hour flight to MKE.

So it's denture issues then?

Being of similar stature, I prefer rows 2-4. The extra little to put the legs under the seat helps a lot. I would take 1A over 1CD. I would take 234C over 1A.

No issues going home tonight *knocks on wood*.

I do notice the taller windows, and I appreciate them. It allows me to see out better

Agree with preferring rows 2-4 on the E175.

I flew in 1A last night... got food/beverage quicker, but lost the ability to stretch my legs out.

Also a warning for those taller- watch your skull entering the F lav. Clobbered mine last night

Not the A side of 234? I feel like it would be much better as a solo passenger to be on the A side, no?

Even with someone else, A is nice. (2-4 that is).

A234 is my first dibs! Then D234, then C234, then 1A then maybe looking at a flight that better fits my schedule, then 1CD.

Now that the DL partnership is kaput, how about GEG-LAX on the E175? I know the route didn't work with the B737, but perhaps a smaller capacity aircraft? LAX has lots of interesting destinations, and it's annoying to have to route through SEA or PDX to access them.

Imagine we'll be getting a lot more point to point ^
But need to wait for more a/c to come online...

I am nervous about all the point to point flying decreasing northwest shuttle hops. If I were GEG based I would be ecstatic about skipping PDX or SEA. Heck I would love it if they started SEA>IDA or PDX>IDA. Selfishly, I enjoy the frequency of BOI>PDX or BOI>SEA>PDX and don't want to lose any of it.
