Did not know that, so why are so many getting upset when they hear it being called an ERJ, I just curious and I’m not trying to start anything. I've actually had an RAH pilot in the jump seat who adamantly referred to the Jungle Bus as an EMB and the 135/40/45 as an ERJ.
Maybe it’s just all the SJSers, every airlines got them.
