E-190 to arrive in PHL tonight. MTC will be getting a good first look and some hands on. Has anybody had a good close look?

Could someone get a pic of the FC cabin? Many inquiring minds want to see.

I think someone should play a joke and fill ALL the overhead bins in FC with random emergency equipment before taking the picture to post.... :lol:

The sad thing would be it isn't a joke! I don't think anyone has seen the interiors yet to comment.....
 
You'd probably have a better chance of seeing the Queens bedroom. Honestly, why is this such a secret? I don't think they have to worry about any other carrier trying to copy ANYTHING we do here at US. :lol:

Its been comming to DFW for the past few days.
I did get a good look at it. Nice interier leather seats.
Only two lavs for 99 pax. Very much like the old 737-200.
The baggage bins are long and will be hard to work with very small headroom. Just hope they are more reliable than the 170s.
 
We didn't do anything different with it. It's the standard Embraer first and coach seats. The coach ones are the same as the 170 but blue (which does make the cabin feel darker and smaller). The First seats are the same as what's on every other carriers 170s- basically the coach seat but alot wider. Not that any of that is bad- the coach seat is wider and more comfortable than any of the Airbus or Boeings. Shame the legroom is not as good as the 170. I flew the 170 before we gave it to the replacement children and the customers loved it and we as F/As loved it- such a step down to be back on those shitty 737s U has!!!

Its a great plane cant wait to work on it again... :up:
 
I have a few mechanic friends at PHL, so when I head back home this weekend for a little break I'm going to call them up and see if I can take a little peak. Most of my friends started out as MDA mechanics on the 170's so I'm sure they'll pick up the 190 real quick.
 
I hope that the f/a's that really like this plane get to fly it. I know I commuted on the 170 when it was MAINLINE MIDATLANTIC and the crews WERE great. NEVER did I not have a fun crew working a flight. I hope to work with some of you on here. That 737 is beyond nasty. How is it that a restaurant can be shut down and make the news by investigative reporting yet these planes fly around with god only knows how many diseases on them and never checked by the board of health. Honestly? I don't get it. I flew a trip not long ago with a girl who armed her door and continued to eat her sandwich. If she didn't get sick after that she'd probably never be able to catch anything. :lol:

ROTFLMAO

Are they going to fly it on the PHL-PIT route? Those dang express FA's from Air Wisconsin are NASSSSS-T.

Not in the short term but the 175 is coming and will replace the 170 on the last PHL-PIT flight of the day.

Maybe as more 190s come online and we may see them if they are needed for PIT routes. Still very early and very few of them out there but if PIT is to have a rennaisance (sp?) than this could be it. However with that new LGA rule coming out it might end up becoming Embraer town.

I got on the 190 this morning. Frist class has good room, 11 seats. Coach is a little close for me, except for the exit row. I think it would a looong ride PHL-DFW.
