What plane are you the most disappointed to see flying a route?

It might depend on cabin class.
In J, getting a middle seat means your trapped - but it's better than coach.
Coach, maybe the refurbished 772s with ten across.

Totally agree! BTR now has one ER4 flight a day. I always make it a point to fly that flight or go through MSY. The CRJ-200 needs to find a different route to fly.

Highly dependent on route, but in years past, very disappointing to see a domestic 757 at the gate instead of the expected 762 for flights 10 or 30, the LAX-JFK redeyes. Knowing that there were as many as 40 passengers now vying for the 22 domestic F seats was depressing.

Narrow CRJs with uncomfortable seating. OTOH, the worst, the American Eagle Fairchild Swearingen "Swearinatem" SA-227AC Metro III "San Antonio Sewerpipe" with seats for second graders - I believe that's the absolute worst AA ever had, and I've flown in practically every AA passenger aircraft from the DC-3 to the 77W. My nomination to the AA "Plane of Shame" showcase.
I'll say on AA, substituted domestic 757 for a 75L - or pity going to Bolivia, because it's a redeye and domestic 757. Hot rod to get in and out of LPB, but argh! HP/LUS or LAA "Eisenhower" seat 757 to Hawaii in F as well. Seriously disappointing!

Anything CRJ. Canadian torture tubes have got to go. At least on just about anything else in the fleet, you can manage a few decent seats via MCE or exit rows. The CRJ is miserable no matter where you sit.
I have my first trip on a Compass E175 next month - in F - looking forward to trying that out. It seems to be well liked.
