It's a soft bag. It does fit in an ERJ-145, I know that for sure.
I know electronics are not covered under the CoC, and last time I heard an RPA gate announcement regarding a full flight and checked bags, they said to "remove all electronics and value items", so if they try to pull that off, I'll ask them what am I supposed to do. One computer has a laptop, the other has $7k worth of camera gear. Although I've heard that if you have electronics and stuff like that they will be more accomodating. More than theft it's about damage, since I know I have camera gear in there, how it's packed and how to handle the bag.

You should not waste your time on trying to get assurances because (i) regardless of verbal assurances, US will not reimburse you for loss/damage to camera and electronics in checked baggage, (ii) even if FA would be willing to scribble something down, she is not gonna have proper authority to modify CoC, and (iii) anyone in supervisory capacity would sooner dress up as a court jester before coming to work than provide you with such assurances in writing.
