kleenex is a generic name for facial tissue, but its also a specific brand.
thecsane can be said about a CRJ, which is specifically, the 200 model vs the CR7, which is the -700 model.

Yes, just report this to an FA and go forward. Stuff like this happens, and unless its an actual safety concern, not a big deal at all. Unless your of the, while this isnt a big deal, wonder if this indicates they arent paying to other safety-related stuff.
thsi brings up two memories. One, some of the threads in the old PMUA forum, where, for example, people were taking UA to task for using the mis-painted nose cone (ie, nose cone from one branding scheme while plane was painted in another). The other is one flight I did have in an E45, where I got to my seat after boarding and realized the tray table wouldnt stay up because that lock was broken. If I was being 100% safety minded, I suppose I wouldve brought it up before take off, but I knew that the proper response was going to be we couldnt fly until it got fixed - as tray tables need to be up for take off. I and probably half the plane would have likely missed connections if maintenance needed to be brought on to fix. So I held it up until after take off, and when the FA came with the service, I let her know to file a report.

genericly, yes, specifically, no. The ERJ is a 1-2 config plane (135/145) as opposed to an E70 or E75 (170/175)
