Default Reliabilty Question

I ride around quite a bit on the ERJ 170/175 190/195; and a number of times I've been delayed due to a maintance issues of various sorts. Some of these minor and others that have cancelled flights. Out of curiosity, for those of you who fly the jet, how do you find the reliabity of these airplanes at your various carriers?

Thanks

It's junk... another throwaway plane from a well known maker of throwaway airplanes. Rub the paint off the side... it says "Goya" underneath....

170 and 190 averaged together is 180.... which is precisely how many degrees there are in the turn you'll be making when you go back to the gate for a mx cancellation.

Its cuz the Ejet uses Windows Millennium. They should have stuck with Windows 98 of the ERJ.

surprising cause the 145/135 is crazy reliable.

in just about a year and a half on the 170 i have never cancelled a flight due to mx. things might break but its a rather redundant airplane and can be mel'd rather quickly and still operated in a safe way. 99% of the time its just a computer issue that needs to be restarted and it works fine.

3 years on the E170/175 and I've had ONE cancellation due to a MX issue. This OP is flamebait at best. It was called the 180 for the first few months after intro, yet some clowns still like to try and be comical and label it that because their ONE commuter experience resulted in a CX. Typical pilot dramatics.

I think Bombardier has more reliability issues than embraer. This could turn into a ford vs. chevy thread when its all said and done.

Part of that reliability depends on which airline is operating the aircraft as well.
