Default Mini Trip Report - Embraer 170

Flew a MidAtlantic (US Express) from PIT to ALB yesterday AM. Quick
observations:

GREAT plane. Much roomier than the traditional regional. Extra width in
the seats (a little over 18) which is more than coach on a mainline 73 with
US. Very quiet, too.

Feels like a small plane. Bumpy (fishtailing, etc) due to winds on Monday,
but not as bad as a 135/140/145 or CRJ.

One highlight. Go-around on the approach into ALB. First one there in over
200 flights in the past two years. Coming in to 19, too low. Ex 73 driver
who had done the approach and got behind it alitlle, maybe?

Jim
