Have you flown the E-Jet?

I've flown the 737, 700, 800, 900, 900ER and the MAX9. I'd go back to the 175 any day. Provided the pay was similar. The 195E2 seems like a really good product and should be at mainline operators. I've never flown one but I'd much rather fly one of those than a 737 variant.

Tell me you never flew the 170/190 without telling me.

We'll be lucky if they don't ground the -8 again

I've only flown on one as a passenger to Montreal on Air Canada. It was a great trip. I sat in first on the way out and coach on the way back. From a passenger prespective both cabins were so much better than the product my airline provides. I dread DHing on my airlines metal. It's cramped noisy and smelly. I said thanks to the crew and it seemed like a very modern spacious cockpit. By far and way superior to anything I have flown at my current "major". The weather was very sporty at Montreal on the way out back to Seattle. Didn't seem like an issue at all.

This is what I have heard. If they get their engine issues resolved, I would think they would be a great DC-9 sized (I am dating myself) plane. Between regional and NB.

The 500 which is still in development would be a direct competetor to the 800NG or MAX 8
