Looks like B6 redeployed those E190s from BNA and CMH pretty quickly.

At 3 hours, I'm thinking BUF-RSW will be their longest E190 route.

B6 does Houston and Austin with the E190s from JFK and Austin from BOS with the E190 which is over 4 hours. I've flown the E190 from Toronto to Edmonton which was over 4 hours. Its a great ride for that amount of time. The E190's seats are wide, comfortable, the windows are great to look out and the cabin over all feels much roomier then the A320, 737, and 757. I much rather fly the E190 3 or more hours then most other jets.

Interesting, didn't realize they flew them out there. I agree about the seats. Despite the aircraft being relatively small, it ain't no RJ. The seats are wider and noticeably more comfortable than those on the A320.

The 190 is an extremely capible airplane. We fly 190's and 175's pretty far west from PHL. It is indeed a fantastic plane and I would wave my rule about first class if it is a 170/190 family plane anyday. I love the 175 in particular. I fly the 170 to Sarasota from DCA when I go down there and coming home from Omaha I fly the 175 from MCI to PHL.
