Also the C-series will have the new geared turbo-fan engine from P&W...which is supposed to be more fuel efficient. I wonder if Embraer will offer the engine as an option when it goes online in 2012.

Id put my money on NWA going 190/195 as well. Probably wouldnt be too hard for them to steal the compass manuals/training program etc...
Then again, it will probably come down to the best deal. And bombardier is probably gonna give some nice incentives to get this thing in the air. So who knows.

is there a reason why boeing and airbus arent trying to get this market? I know they are working on the 787 and the a350 or whatever airbus is going to call their 787 version but they have a ton of clout with the majors. It wouldnt be that hard for them to draw up and build a competitive 100 to 150 seat jet to replace all the old dc9/md80/734-5's out there.

From what i was told by the guys here at NWA, they dont want the E-190 because it is already out of date as far as they are concerned. They cant justify spending big money like that on old technology when the C-series is supposed to be 35-45% more efficient than the Ejet. FWIW
