Thanks for the answer, but I have one more question. Are the overhead bins A319 size or B737 size?

I didn't mean that F/A's would get more pay as an override, but that negotiations for pay rates would consider that there are only two F/As.

And let's not forget the Colgan B1900s doing the stupid ESA runs like BLF/BKW-IAD. BLF can't do SF3's until they get a longer/wider runway. BKW's main runway is ok however. It would be an improvement if the ESA service went to a real hub like CLT over IAD, like it was when CCAir had the contract.

Yes, Wall Street knows, but perhaps word hasn't reached Brazil.
So call Embraer and complain; it's their press release.

We may be out of BK but we're not completely out from under the judge's control. It's surprising how many issues are still up in the air, and filings are being made with the court almost every business day.
If you recall, the judge approved an agreement with Embraer a little over a year ago, while we were still in BK. The 190 order isn't a new agreement, it's a modification of that previous agreement. So the judge has to approve the changes - a formality, almost surely.

Another great thing about the 170/190 family of jets is the ability to place a full sized roller board suitcase under the seat in front of you as well. There isn't a bar seperating the seats but one full open space. It's awesome. Great bag space for an a/c of it's size. Totally beats the crj's by leaps and bounds. I think this a/c will go very senior as someone mentioned. All great news.

This plane will go very jr. to the pilots due to the pay scales.
Most senior FO's will make more than EMB Capt's. Anyone want to guess how low on the senority list!!

Im glad to see US getting new craft, wish it were Boeing though, but glad non-the-less My question now is, how will these planes be used? Will they be used to open new markets or will they be used to replace 737 flying? Anyone have any idea?

And anyone know how far they can fly? I mean as far as city pairs? LAS/PHX to where in the East for example.Im glad to see US getting new craft, wish it were Boeing though, but glad non-the-less
2,300 mile max range for the 190AR. I think it's an absolutely perfect bird for the midcons - CLT-MSP, PHL-STL, PIT-DFW. All those routes are RJ-city or nonexistent right now.
Also, new routes... CLT-AUS, anyone? PHX-BNA?
Embraer's website lists a range of 2,300 NM...near transcon range. That should be good enough to go from PHX/LAS to most destinations on the east coast.
That said, it would be a big surprise if that's the way that these are used. The Airbii and Boeings have a big advantage in additional seating and payload for the longer routes.
E190s on some mid-cons? Yes. Transcons? I doubt it.
