Is there a "Best" seat on OO's operated CRJ-200?
It's been over a decade since I've been on a CRJ-200, voluntarily or not. And I don't think ever with QX's ops (they only operated the 700 series aircraft).
As I have several segments coming up on them (involuntarily), is there a good seat on them at all? Does Bulkhead or Exit Row have any extra legroom? Those are both marked as "priority" on AS' site.
Thanks.

They used to fly SEA-COS and they are miserable on all counts.
The only slightly less miserable is row 1, left side, aisle. You can at least stick your feet out into the entryway a bit.
And you get off the miserable aircraft first.
The exit rows are a joke in terms of any extra seat pitch.

I didn't realize OO has CRJ-200 flying for AS anymore - thought it was only -700. But I checked a few SEA-PDX flights and sure enough: 13 rows. Were these only recently brought out due to QX ops, or have these torture chambers been flying for a while now?

I was afraid of all this information...
Imagine row 1 has fixed armrests, how about 8 (exit row) on OO?

Flew this bird last night on the SEA Shuttle. Exit row 8 gets no love in terms of more leg room. Only saving grace is the plane got to SEA faster than the turboprop (25 min stage time).
