B-737 vs. Embraer 190

[johnsonrod]

How does this all compare to the new Bombardier C-Series? I think they are planning to put roughly 130 seats in that thing. Wasn't RPA considering it as a possible replacement for Frontier Airbuses (as leases expire)? Anyone got any figures for comparison?

It's got a nice flight deck:

there are no real numbers for C-series as its still a paper airplane

You guys do know that the nickname, "Bamboo Bomber" is already taken?

And the Embraer Creeks and groans like a sick fuel pump mounted inside a megaphone. Spooky aerodynamics on that airplane.

Would you mind telling us your scary story again? It was a good one.

Yes, but we've appropriated it for our POS too.

The few times I've seen a E-170/190, it has reminded me of a scaled down, twin engine, DC-8. I think it's the spacing of the cabin windows that gives me that impression.

Wrong on both parts.

Once again, A self-proclaimed expert that has NO idea what he's talking about. View his aircraft flown...

Where did he proclaim himself an expert? atpcliff is a fairly knowledgeable poster.

Hi! The 170s/190s are like the ERJs the same as how the 747 is like the DC-3.

The regionals are transitioning to 70+ seat aircraft as fast as possible.

Cliff...just a small point of correction...the "190s" are ERJs.

It's a little redundant to see "190" and "ERJ" referred to as different aircraft

190 vs 145 is easier to differentiate.

Embraer Creeks ? Is that where they send Repubic pilots when they retire?

 

[Bluestreak]

What a stupid statement. You do realize that where an aircraft gets hit will determine if it stays in the air?

Oh,no doubt.Prove me wrong,though.If it was as "disposable" as some of you maintain,the tail should have broken off like an A300,but it didn't.

To stick up for Cliff, actually Embraer markets the 135, 145 etc as ERJ's and the new models 170, 190 etc as E-Jets. They even split them up on their website. Normally I wouldn't say anything, but if your going to get picky.....

Bluestreak,

Just stick with cool classic Fords. Analogies don't seem to be your thing.

And structures expertise ain't yours.Hey,Boeing could use some on the 787,maybe you can offer some advice.They seem to be having issues.Meanwhile,you still can't prove me wrong.Just saying "Why,everybody knows Brand B is just better built" doesn't make it so.

 

[Sailpilot]

I didn't think he was that far off. Only 10 wrong on the seats.

24 seats off. Max seating is 114.

The E190 is a POS, just to clarify
