I'm told Embrear is building a new factory in China to produce ERJs. I was told this and haven't looked it up so take it with a grain of salt.

As far as what will happen goes I don't see RJs being that good of a deal for people to actually want them. Pretty much all the side markets have been filled. There are aircraft that go higher, faster, further, and do so more efficiently than the RJs. True they don't fit as many people but if that's your market then they'd have BBJs. Has any fractional, which caters to the markets some of you are talking about, ever tried to place orders for CRJs? If the CRJ had that much of a future they would have been marketed already. Netjets would have a few at least. I could see a few places like USA JET or someone like them grabbing a couple but not in the personal market.
