B-737 vs. Embraer 190

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?
