How they don't have better backbone connectivity diversification in this day and age is quite something!

Now, why something as critical as an airline doesn't have a 2nd geographically diverse datacenter is another question. Guess this is what you get when you outsource to the regionals.

I am sure we all agree that 50 seaters suck but the ERJ has the slight edge for me.

I've seen examples where even having multiple fully diverse fiber connectivity can still both go down in extreme circumstances. Usually it's due to major construction where there is digging across multiple areas and they happen to hit both. It sucks, but it happens.

I disagree. I would much prefer 1x2. The windows on the ERJ are also placed considerably higher making it feel less claustrophobic and I find the head/shoulder space to be much better on the ERJ than the CRJ.

For a quick ~1 hr jaunt between regional FBO's it is an amazing way to travel. A coast to coast flight isn't as amazing.

I get to take a CRJ200 for work with some regularity. I don't mind the 2x2 seating. To me the biggest thing is just that it's loud - not that I know that an E145 would be any better.

To put this in perspective though, today it's 13 for AA, 2 for DL and 0 for UA. American's mainline cancellation rate is consistently way higher than the competition even on good days.
