Going to BDL to visit family over Labor Day weekend.
I routed thru DFW, but I am indeed booked on AA3821 BDL-ORD on 9/7 and am still showing the CRJ. However, it looks like you're correct, after the 11/18 schedule changes, this route returns to all ER4s
Sure didn't take long!
Lovely of them to (not even try) to compete with UA's A319s.
Glad I only have to do this route once.

Just have a look at the schedule - there is a lot of ex-ord flying that has all the CR7s with F cabins. Logically this indicates there are a lot more than one converted CR7 flying, it's simply not possible to fly the current CR7 schedule with F cabins with a single converted CR7 plus the new deliveries.
In fact all the CR7s have already been convected. This happened before July 2, when AmericanEagle rolled out F cabins and officially began offering the service.

Had the pleasure of flying N528EG recently on an ATL-LGA flight. It definitely had that new plane smell and very clean interior. Didn't know at the time the plane was less than a month old. Didn't burn stickers for an upgrade since the flight was more than half empty, I had Chic-Fil-A before boarding and I was able to secure an exit row. On the flight down, I got an op-up to F. I enjoyed the ham sandwich that they served for lunch. Was a bit on the salty side but quite a nice surprise to be served a yummy meal.

Dude your earlier posts suggest that there are old config CR7s flying - meaning Y70. Unless you care to recraft your statement - I'll stand my my statement that 100% of the original 25 CR7s have already been converted to include the F cabin.

it says this (EXACT):
CRJ700 F9 Y56
N524AE- ACTIVE
N525AE- ACTIVE - 1MX
N526AE-ACTIVE
N527AE-ACTIVE
N528AE-ACTIVE
N529AE-ACTIVE
N530AE-ACTIVE
TOTAL ACTIVE: 8
its saying they only logged N524AE AS BEING CONVERTED. THE OTHER HASNT POSTED. I JUST COPIED AND PASTED ABOVE.
SAME THING WITH THE CONVERTED 737 ONLY TWO CONVERTED ARE SHOWING WHEN I HAVE BEEN ON 8. IT NEVER POSTS WHEN THEY GO IN

Begs the question - why post what is obviously 100% incorrect information?
Real life experience proves that all the Eagle CR7s now have a First Cabin.

Canadair Regional Jet 700(CR7) - What is it?
Flying from ATL to LGA with an upgrade. When I check the seating, I see only 9 seats in first. I check the seating map against SeatGuru and it is different. Never been on this type of aircraft before. Can anyone tell me if the seats in first are roomy. Also, are there room overhead for rollerboards?

No space for roller boards, you will have to gate check.
Seats are reasonably comfy but not overly wide. If you a traveling solo, go for an A seat.
