I went onboard one of Embraer's newest yet worst-selling jets and can't understand why more airlines aren't buying it. See inside the Embraer E195-E2
Aircraft manufacturers in the past decade have found success in revitalizing their best-selling aircraft and incorporating new technologies to increase efficiency and performance capabilities. (www.businessinsider.com) Ещё...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Great product affected by a market that is driven by money more than quality. Embraer makes planes that are the best for short and medium markets.
Maybe Embraer is overreaching and trying to get in a market niece they are not ready for. I believe the Airlines are about to require smaller but faster as the market shifts from the 747 and A380 size down to the more versatile 737/A220 but in the Mach 1+ range of speed and 40K+ altitudes. The new actor is SpaceX with the Starship Atmosphere/near orbital Passenger transporter, New York to Tokyo in under an hour. Speed is coming back as a driver for the Airlines as the internet has stollen many a business Traveller the need for speed will become a must for those business travelers who need to travel. In short less seats are going to be the norm especially long haul, 3000+ miles. I also see that like the 1950s rail passenger serves die due to Air travel and now Air passenger Travel is giving up seats to the Internet and virtual Face to Face. Air Freight will become the new mainstay of Airline companies and speed and versatility drives that business even today.

Thanks to an Embraer I missed my Flight to Sydney, Australia February 2020. We were booked on a United Flight from LAX to Syd but needed to take a United Express flight from PHX to LAX for the connection. Unfortunately, the Embraer E175 was late arriving from LAX. By the time it arrived we had missed the late evening Sydney flight. When it did arrive and we were all loaded aboard, they couldn't get it started for reasons unknown. I thought that it's electronics might be Microsoft because they had to power the aircraft completely down and "reboot it" After they got it started when were furnished an overnight stay in LA and caught the Sydney flight the next evening. Fortunately the ship we were cruising on was actually departing the day we arrived but we missed a full day in Sydney and the first night aboard the ship. As a side note, the Norwegian Cruise Line ship Jewel on which we disembarked at Sydney two weeks later, was forced to stay at sea due to listed ports refusing it docking rights due to the COVID-19 pandemic that was just becoming a serious threat.
The plane itself was a comfortable trip but I just question it's dependability.

All modern airlines have computers. Since the days of vacuum tube computers sometimes the only fix is turn it off then turn it back on. Ex-computer tech since 1965.
Another manufacturer getting screwed by Boeing. Embraer should never have talked to Boeing and because they also screwed Bombardier, they forced them into Airbus' arms, who are now eating their lunch. Embraer in a way, got screwed twice by Boeing.
