Geeze, tuck your boners gentlemen. Talk about getting an inch and taking a mile...Straight from Uncle Rico's keyboard in Atlanta:
"EMB175 Coming to A-Tech
When we talk about competition in the regional airline space, we’re typically talking about ExpressJet’s position compared to our regional peers; but there’s a whole other arena of competition that involves our suppliers, and airframe manufacturers are among the biggest. Bombardier and Embraer are household names around ExpressJet since we’ve operated both for years, but just as ExpressJet is working to become a more attractive partner to mainline carriers, airframe manufacturers are showing off what they can do for regional carriers.
This week Embraer’s sales team is flying around the country on one of their EMB175s and will be making a stop at ATL on Friday, Feb. 15 to show it off. They’ll be rolling out the red carpet and sharing refreshments at A-Tech between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m., so anyone interested in taking a look should stop by. They’ll be doing a demo flight around 1:30 p.m. and those who visit the hangar between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. will be entered to participate in that. If nothing else, this is a good opportunity to see what some of our own competitors are flying and what could be part of the fleet of the future for the regional airline industry. As always, family members are invited along to take a look, too."
