Just booked CLT to BDL on 10/04. Seatmap showing a reconfigured E175 and I'm in 2A.
Return flight from BDL to DCA the following day is on a E170 with the old seatmap. Booked 2A with fingers crossed.

What is the black square thing on the right side of the photo? A flash for a professional photographer?

Don't get your hopes up, US web site states, while the fleet is in transition seat maps will show FC but your flight might not have it. Also the true FC experience wont start until all of that fleet type is completed. So until all E170/175s are done, you might get a FC seat but don't expect other FC perks. Now Ih ave flown on UAX and AE RJ's in FC, its nice and I'm sure the E170's will be better.

The first plane to have FC is flying starting today. 128HQ E175. The rest start the MX rotations on the 20th.

No one is being mislead it is all on the website. @:-) CWE is being helpful by passing along information we don't have. You are being unhelpful by posting redundant information.

"We're adding First Class to four US Airways Express fleets this fall. During installation, we will offer Coach service throughout the aircraft. But as soon as all aircraft in each fleet are updated, you'll be able to buy First Class seats, receive Preferred upgrades...and enjoy First Class service.....And once each fleet is complete, we'll start issuing automatic Preferred upgrades and offering First Class service. "
It's for each type of AC. For example, I can purchase a FC ticket on an E175 or an E170 from BOS-PIT in November.
If you search for a CRJ900 flight in November like CLT-AUS, it shows the FC seatmap, but FC is not available for purchase.
