Now I see why you CO folks :rolleyes: them so much. |

ERJs are fine for 500 mile flights, but 1000 miles? Meh - I'll pass.

Now I see why you CO folks :rolleyes: them so much. I've done MSP-IAH on the ERJ more times than I can count. Honestly, it never was that bad. But I always had an exit row seat, and my Thursday night flight home from MSP was never more than about 60% full – usually more like 40-50% full. With the exit row seat, a fully charged laptop battery, and a handful of drink coupons, it wasn't a bad flight at all. |

Ok Box, question for you:
I have an award ticket MSP-EWR-MSP in a few months. My return flight (on a 737-300) has been changed Delta-style to an ERJ-145. Given that I'm not a fan of RJs on 1000+ mile flights, is this cause for a refund of miles? I know it would be on Delta (since it's a change of operating carrier...), but not sure on CO rules... |

We're in the good ol' days now with ERJs from CO and NW/DL is running DC-9-30s on the route.

I'd keep it. A huge downgrade like that could do wonder for bumps.
And it is in October - not exactly peak travel season. |

Now that I think about it, ERJ's are more comfortable than the 10's. Back when I was in them all the time the lovely orange and brown seat covers and the 29" seat pitch or something like that and the old style tray table support arms that stuck out even more making it worse so my knees were just pressed into them if the person infont reclined the seat ever so slighly.

And a few E-175s. I have a EWR-MSP flight coming up that is a E175.

Oh the days of DC-10s in BusinessFirst on MCO-EWR and being served the choice of roasted chicken breast or lobster. Those were the good ol' days. |
