That's right: the 175's get 8 FC seats and the 170's get 9.

In theory nothing prevents a carrier from calling the front single seat side row 1 while the 2 seats opposite could be row 2. Look at one of the 330 configurations where the outside seats don't line up with the center section seats - they don't have row X.5 just because the seats aren't aligned, the rows are numbered starting with the first row in that section. However, I would think that US would want to keep the labeling of rows as uniform as possible across the carriers that make up the USX fleet.

Not sure how current it is, but usairways.com is reporting that 3 of 38 EMB-175 have been converted.

All of the E175s should be done by Oct 28th. 1 per day and then the E170's so mid Nov the entire Republic fleet will be finished.

I've had the reconfigured E175's a couple times now CLT-IND or IND-CLT. It's really nice having the extra room to rest on the way to or from work, even without F service. I snapped a pic for y'all. Note the excitement of the other passengers and the FA at having a pic taken. I did ask permission to be polite. 
I've yet to see the new FA configuration and I'm typically in the bulkhead or row 2DF or 3AC

When UA was redoing thier 777 fleet with the new interiors problems arised so the completed fleet took longer then planned. I was wondering if US was running into the same issue, since US website shows only 3 done, and if it takes only a day to do the change over there should be more then 3 completeld..

Even if they loose a day or two they should still finish all or almost all the 175s by the end of October.

Also I had the latest refurbed plane this morning. 117HQ came online today HSV-DCA-BTV a full 2 days early! So just another reason its not practical that US change it daily....
