Besides, the 110 seat 717 is far more of a regional jet then the 98 seat E190 with double the range.

More like 500nm longer range. Still substantial but not double.
I did a ATL-PLS full passengers and 24.1 on fuel, we had an alternate obviously and it was 950 nm. I see AC operating the E190s we were supposedly getting going 1790 nm from YYZ-SEA, and, I presume you have an alternate to SEA. :D That's where I get the double. I know FL did ATL-DEN in them which is 1040 nm but I think that was it. |

But yes, we do have a rate for it. A crappy rate. And no actual airframes. But semantically, we're awesome. Notice they dropped the ERJ on the 170-195 family. They called them the E-Jets to get away from the regional jet connotation, and rightfully so, just notice the range and capacity. http://image.slidesharecdn.com/embra...?cb=1384351264 Check out the cockpit of the E2s, which I assume is what they're using http://aviationweek.com/site-files/a...ptembraer0.jpg Still, I don't get why people don't think they'd replace mainline jets on routes if they were publicly slated to replace the 717 out west. |

Yep. E190 has a 1000nm range and we're at 500nm. You haven't taken one further than 500nm have you? :D t/c

Whatever these things are, they're not here, and guys would most definitely fly them for $200/hr. |
And that's the point it's a $200/hr airplane like the 717. If the smaller version comes to mainline we have a CRJ 900 scale that is equal now. The E190 is tied to the CRJ900 in our current contract. That's a 76 seater and a 100 seater for the same rate.

... and 1000 miles further than one can endure the 717s pilot seats. :D |
