However, the fuselage is not wide enough to cram in an extra seat per row, so you still have the widest coach seat in the sky. Width matters more than pitch if you're average height, IMO.
You did hit on a good point though. The nice part about the E90 as well is that airlines won't cram in any more seats because they'd have to add a flight attendant as well once they hit 101 seats!
- ubernostrum 9y agoThe E70/75 could squeeze in more rows of seats without needing another FA, but like I said they're in that strange sweet spot where they're big enough to accommodate more seats but not big enough to make the flight as a whole profitable with the extra seats + mainline crew.
- SmellTheGlove 9y agoYup, which is why I'd ride an E70/75/90 as far as they'll let me! I'm not particularly tall so I can be fine with 30" of pitch, but I appreciate having more than that. And my shoulders appreciate the extra width.
