What is this ERD?
Sorry for the 'silly' questions - but I have never flown AA before and I am on an ERD from DFW to FWA this coming weekend.
#1 - is this a jet or a turbo prop?
#2 - is it really 1 x 2 seating?
#3 - other than the exit row is there a good seat on this plane?
#4 - is there food on this flight?
#5 - how is overhead storage? will i be able to fit a suit bag in the overhead?
Thanks for the info.

No food. No room for anything other than a small laptop in the tiny overhead. You will check your larger carryons planeside and pick them up planeside when you arrive at FWA.
Welcome to AA.

From http://www.airlinecodes.co.uk/ - ERD = Embraer RJ140.
From www.embraer.com:-
[Edited to add: There's a whole heap of information accessible from this page that you can't get off the aa.com page that jerry a.laska has helpfully posted below.]

Thanks for the information (although I wish you had different info for me) - 17 in width and 31 in pitch for 860 miles.
I am guessing this isnt going to be the flight that has me leaving UA for AA. Dont get me wrong - the CRJ50 is a nightmare and thankfully I just dont fly the 500+ mile routes on CRJs.

Ugh, I feel your pain. I had that commute. If at all possible I highly recommend flying through ORD instead - 30 minutes on an ERJ instead of 100 or so. Even in light of the weather and traffic hassles. Can you change your routing?
