For what it's worth, Embraer refers to it as an E190. Same with the E170. Falls right in line with the Republic mainline mentality y'all have going here.

History will repeat itself.
Besides, you're the LAST guy that should be in a conversation about scope. We'd be flying your shiny jets hub to hub if you had your way.
