A maintenance tech told me they have a nick name for E175s, they call them E180s for making a 180 turn to return to the gate soon after pushback.
That's what the folks at jetBlue were calling the E-190 until they got the various bugs fixed. Seems like the aircraft has improved it's reliability drastically, at least at jetBlue.

No, I don't think so. Last I heard was that management had authorized offering the C-series. But that's different from a launch. You don't just start manufacturing airliners, put them in cold stoarage, and hope somebody will buy them...you need a customer first. I think they may be close to working out a deal or two, but nothing has been announced yet.

Why on the captains side is the symbol on the tail pointing to the northwest while the FO's side is pointing to the northeast. Story I heard was it looked better that way and was symmetrical side to side. Feel free to comment, flame, whatever:eek:

The symbol is always pointing forward. Kinda like how on the right side of a plane the American flag has the stars on the right side...
