So what have you got? This is a PSA operated flight.
I'm in 1A at the moment. I love looking our the window. Is window properly aligned with 1A? I've been on Delta CRJ900 and you can't really see out the window unless you do some yoga.
Cabin is wide open. Stay put or change??

Asking for confirmation because seatguru thinks that is a bad seat.

Yes, 1A is great -- single F seat, with good leg room, plus the ledge under the window extends all the way to the bulkhead wall. I (being somewhat under 6' tall) can recline my seat and put my feet up on the ledge and stretch out almost completely. After 2-3 G&Ts, I could fool myself into thinking I'm in a lie-flat J seat.

Now to the good news, I did manage to finish two G&T's.

Good news on the G&Ts! I find that as those keep coming, the more comfortable I feel.

5C on a CR9--NOT a bulkhead
This is the 2nd time the AA seat map has
screwed me. The map on AA app clearly shows this plane as having 5C the first row in coach. Nope. That would be row 4. Now I'm stuck in this seat on my to SAT. To put salt in the wound I did have the exit row but switched this morning after that "awesome" 5C opened.
What gives???

Some CRJ-900s have just three rows of F and no MCE (no non-exit row/non-bulkhead MCE); they were the planes already flying for LUS at the time of the merger. CRJ-900s delivered since the merger have 12F and MCE.

With CR9 instead, it's a much more comfortable ride, and faster to boot!

The only significant problem with the CR9s is that the overhead bins are horrible. Even F has to gate check a 22" roller, which causes problems when my roller typically has a CPAP, medications, and laptop accessories in it to ease the stress on a bad shoulder.

LARGER OVERHEAD BINS
The CRJ Series’ spacious overhead bins easily accommodate two 22 x 16 x 10.5 inch roller bags, meaning the CR700 can stow 48 bags, the CRJ900 58 bags and the CRJ1000 68 bags.

There just isn't enough overhead bin space.

A Bombardier brochure says that the CRJ-series overhead bins are large enough:

There just isn't enough overhead bin space.
