Quoting Tornado82 (Reply 4): Shuttle America on behalf of Delta.
Somebody runs them for United now.
Mid-Atlantic still has a few for USAirways.
Shuttle America flies for Delta and Untied....
Republic and MidAtlantic fly for USAirways...
MidAtlantic has about 2 months left until all their aircraft will be transferred over to Republic.

Of course, Republic Holdings owns Shuttle America.

Actually I just got off of US1687, operated by an E-170.
The cabin is deceptively large. You'd be amazed by how big a bag you can easily fit into the overheads. The seats are roomy, especially when compared to the small ERJ and CRJs out there. Through in the big windows you have a very airy cabin.

I love the plane. I have been on 2 of them now. 1 was on US. The other was DL. Both of them were great flights. Smooth fun flights.

From the mouth of a Republic CA; "Embraer should call this the 180!" I asked why; "Every time we push, we do a 180 back to the gate!". Apparently, some of the earl 170's had some growing pains. The more recently deliveries however, have had a much better mx record. It's certainly a sharp looking jet, and only wish we'll be getting them soon in the form of the 190!

I like it. It is comfortable especially because of the fewer seats and no middles. However the windows seem a little high up and the plane is awfully noisy inside.

I absolutely love the EMB-170! I have been on them twice - once in UA service in First class and once on us on US East (sorry, my way of distinguishing between US and HP ops). Personally, I like the CR9s that Mesa operates for us, but I would absolutely love it if we had some members of the E170-E195 family flying for us on the HP side. I guess that I will have to wait and see.....

The E-170 also has a very strong takeoff (since it's the lightest variant of the family). It is very loud outside and fairly ok inside, although takeoff is noisy compared to a CRJ.

To fly on? Absolutely fantastic! Nothing better!
To work on? Pure hell. Terrible bins, terrible teething problems...

I have to say I think they are quite good, I am surprised that their sales has not been extended into some other area's liek asia or Middle East, I think for example they will be quite good for Iranian carriers for regional ops and no political problems in acquiring them?

Any chance of US putting F class on the 170? Shuttle America has F and UA even has "3" classes, F, Premium Economy and coach.

First, it cannot maintain proper cabin temperature. For 10 minutes it's too hot; then for 10 minutes it's okay; then for 10 minutes it's too cold; then for 10 minutes it's okay; then for 10 minutes it's too hot. It was like that on all 3 flights I had with this model.
Second, the interior speakers are too loud. During cabin announcements, I had to put my hands on my ears because it was really hurting.
All that being said, I would not hesitate to fly that plane at anytime. Seating is comfortable (I'm 1,82m). Bin volume is also very appropriate.
Overall, it provides a slightly better-than-acceptable 2 hour ride.
Never let the facts get in the way of a good theory.
