- This plane has two seats on each side of the cabin and a single aisle.
- Carry-on space is very limited; most roll-aboard luggage will need to be gate-checked.
- The aisle armrests of the non-window seats can be raised to allow for a little more room.
- The exit row seats (Row 8), marketed as Preferred Seating, do not have any significant amount of additional pitch and there is no arm rest next to the window.
- On a small number of aircraft the rows are number 1-12, 14 and exit row is row 8
- Row 1 is marketed as Preferred Seating
Economy Plus, however there is no significant amount of additional pitch. The bulkhead at this row means limited space to stretch your legs compared to other rows, and there is little overhead space available. - Row 2-5 are marketed as Preferred Seating
blocked for elites, but are standard pitch -- no extra leg space

I want to valet check my carryon bag at the gate because I know it wont fit overhead for the first leg of my trip. But I need my bag for the the layover and for the second leg. Does the offer to valet check a bag (where they tag your bag and I pick it up after the first leg) vs. Gate Check come from the airline, the airport, the mood of the baggage handlers? Can I find out in advance?
The United Express valet-check tag is a green tag.
The term "gate-check" is often used to indicate any bag check at the gate and is not necessarily exclusive to valet-check or regular check-bag procedures.

You can valet-check on any United Express flight. Only strollers, walkers, wheelchairs, car-seats, etc. are valet-checked on United mainline flights.

Green tagged items will be returned to you at the gate.
White tagged items will be at the destination carousel
Generally, mainline will only do green tags for items like strollers, baby seats, walkers, wheelchairs, ... Standard luggage that will not fit in OHB or no OHB space available will be white tagged,
Generally, UX will green tag standard carryon and might on request do white tags.

Row 1 is exit row, so Elite Pax or pay extra. Rows 2 and 3 are also Elite or pay extra because they are closer to the door.
My educated guess is that there are so few Elites flying these monstrosities (OK, have a flight on one of them Sunday
) that only Rows 1 and 2 get picked, and 3 is left empty as kettles may only select 4 and higher @:-)

Yes, row 1 is considered "Economy Plus" (LOLOLOLOLOL). Rows 2 and 3 are blocked for elites as 'preferred' (LOLOLOLOLOLOL) seats. Row 8 (on Skywest and Air Wisconsin, I thin another operator uses a different numbering system) is the exit row. It's no better than any other row, but they're blocked from elites, but some weird exceptions sometimes, and I think they're up for anyone's grabs at check-in (which also sucks in and of itself).
I'm probably in the top 1% of flyers on this POS. (I mean bottom 1%...I surely don't 'win' anything except squished thighs/shoulders, backaches and a few lumps on my head by standing while being absentminded at the same time). My calculations exceed 1000 segments on this abomination in the 17 years since 'real' United left my airport. And because SkyWest runs my home airport's routes at risk (they set the schedule and control the revenue, and are thereby limited to 50-seat aircraft), I'm still stuck with more and more CRJs for at least the next several years.

I rarely choose bulkheads these days because I don't like to have to worry about getting overhead space.

A legit strategy, except personally I'd rather be last one on the plane and just put my backpack under the seat in front of me. Thus row 2 would be my preference. If you're taller, this may not be a preferred strategy.

An E170/175 feels like a widebody after flying on one of these things!
