These were late adds to the Mesa fleet from AirOne before the summer season that will get the cabin refit soon now that we're getting past summer peak demand. There aren't many - 9 per https://sites.google.com/site/newame...rlines/crj-900 - with the 10th one already having gotten its F cabin installed.

The planes come as configured for/by the last operator, and get put on-line in that configuration (depending on the agreement reached to bring the planes in) until time and upgrade availability exist to get the interiors changed.
phlwookie, I haven't heard that an STC for wifi on the CRJ series is available yet, and it may not have been deemed feasible to try (at this point).

Yep, same situation for the 2nd batch of planes as was with the 1st ones.

If this is a case that is approximately the standard common size for a carry-on bag that fits in a regular overhead bit (21 inch length for Boeing/Airbus narrowbody bins, IIRC). It most likely will not fit the overhead bins installed in the CRJ series aircraft. Also, there is only 1 side of normal bins in the 1st class area of the CRJ700/900 due to the seating arrangement and location of the aisle (bins above the A seats are big enough to hold a small purse or personal item of that equivalent size).

Heck, I usually have to struggle just to get my backpack in the overhead bin.

Yeah I've seen the same but my father is letting me borrow his bag and says he's never not been able to fit it on any of his flights. Granted he flys UA. I have plenty of time so it's more of not dinging up a borrowed bag (which he says will for in overhead haha)

My impression is that only but the smallest roll alongs or bags will fit into the overheads of any CRJ- regardless of model. Even in F class. This is one of the major advantages of the E-170/175.
