Mind you, I've usually flown BAE146s in the middle of Wisconsin winters with huge coats either being worn, or stuffed into the micro-sized overhead bins. Add the ugly interior colours of AWAC/UAE and I always seemed to have a headache. The same probably would be true if I took a Midwest Express flight on the same day. Do different airlines have different overhead bins in the BAE146? On both AirBC and AWAC I found them quite small, and intruding... While we are at it, I'm not fond of Air Canada's A319 service YYZ-POS. The trip is long (5.5 hours) and dull.
