Indeed, in fact some are more palatable than what is now being offered in intl J based on some frightening reports. I've been looking for as much Eagle as possible, and avoiding mainline 737s and Airbuses.

DL yes, though I've been on more than a few large US RJs that have not been Wi-Fi equipped since 2011.

According to registration numbers there are currently 42 AA E175's in the fleet (N401-N442YX). If the CR9's come pre-installed, and the US 175's have it, how can it possibly take this long? And I read the press release as if it was just these fleets getting it, not necessarily the CR7's. That'd great, though.

Is there any sort of documentation on which 175s have wifi?

As someone who frequents US Airways Express, I have always been offered PDB of my choice at all times. Meals? What meals? Looking at some of the slop offered by the "New American" I'll stick to the packaged edible snacks. I really hope Dougie gets it and reverts back to pre 9/1 meals and adds American Eagle meals to US Airways Express but I'm rather pessimistic. Go-Go has been available on E-170s for the past several years. Most importantly, it's worked quite well and haven't had an issue using it. However, this is probably due to the fact I'm the only one or one of a handful using it.

Hooray! That was a 
for AA so I'm glad it's being fixed. I have an E75 flight next May so maybe I'll get lucky and that plane will be done by then.

All US Airways Express E170s and 175s; as well as the new CR9s currently being delivered to Mesa on behalf of American Eagle. Those CR9s are the only ones to have an MCE section; so you'd have to look at the seat map.
