E-170/190: A bit more comfort for small(er) city air travel

The United Express E-170 was a rather pleasant surprise. I flew this 70 seat jet several times recently and found that I could:

• Stand Up Straight (impossible in some of the smaller 50 seat jets)
• Get some work done
• Walk a bit

Jetblue has ordered a bunch of the slighter larger E-190's. We'll see more of these, likely direct to Madison.

One of the worst travel experiences of the past year was a 3 hop flight to the west coast (including a business stop in the middle) on a 50 seat jet. Rather cramped....
