Yeah because the 737 rudder problem (fatalities), DC10 slat and cargo door problem (fatalities) and numerous other non-Brazilian airframes have been so stellar?
The EMB135/145/BJ airframe has an excellent safety record and was actually designed by former Boeing engineers so before you make uninformed and ignorant comments you might do a bit of research.
Keep in mind the Legacy survived this accident. The Boeing did not.
