E190, Jfk-bos!

It looks like the teething problems with the E190 are finally being fixed. When the poor ontime performance occurred, right away, everyone was on jetBlue's case, not keeping in mind jetBlue was the launch customer for the E190.

Taking a look at JFK-BOS flights today, 9 out of 10 were flown on the E190. One was an A320. All BOS-JFK flights used the E190. And, ontime performace on all markets using the E190 - AUS, IAD, JFK, BOS - has greatly improved!

Has anyone flown on this awesome aircraft yet? And if so, what are your thoughts?

I like the E190s alot better than other smaller aircraft, actually like it better than the 717s. The windows are a decent size, the seats are comfy, the XM Radio Rulez! As far as DirecTV, it was cool and the overhead compartment was big enough for a skateboard and a backpack (with the board on the side with the wheels facing out and the backpack between the wheels). And still have enough room for more bags in the bin.... Very impressed by the bins. In addition, the seats in the very very very last row recline a good bit... I just sat there cause it was empty and was surprise how far back it reclined compare to the last row of the A320s. Legroom is decent, alot better than the RJs and turboprops that AA and Delta Connection use on this route. (I often time fly from CA to BOS via JFK, all of my flights to BOS from JFK almost always start from CA)
