So, for those who are interested, US has now completed outfitting all of the US Express ERJ 170 and 175 models with First Class, as of 10/18 for the E175, and 10/31 for the E170. There are a total of 38 E175s, and 20 E170s.Now they are going to begin CR9 and CR7 modifications, or already have started the cabin mods. Here's a bit of "trivia", I guess you could call it..
The percentage of FC-equipped RJs among the majors, broken down by airline, includes all Express carriers:
American Eagle: 47 FC equipped RJs out of 284, Total: 16.5%
United Express: 132 FC equipped RJs out of 292, Total: 45.2%.
United Express + Continental Express, Total: 25.8%
Delta Connection: 223 FC equipped RJs out of 664, Total: 33.5%
US Airways: 110 FC equipped RJs out of 298, Total: 36.9% (When complete)
US Airways: 58 FC equipped RJs out of 298, Total: 19.46 (ERJ only, as of 11/2/2011)
(These are only estimations, and the UAX+COEX numbers are slightly out of date, but I think they are still close to the actual numbers, as CO had no First/Business on any of their Express flights)

900s are currently moving into the DHN facility for the 1st class mod. The first YV 900 to have 1st is currently flying.

That's good news. Are they also doing the cabin refits, consisting of re-covered seats, better lighting, and better lavs at the same time, or will that be later?

No other refurbs. Our 170's have the nice F cabin but the old brown seats. Hopefully we will get new seats to match the 175's. Once our 170's go in for C/D checks then all that will happen hopefully.
