Higher Capacity E-190s

Read this worrisome news this morning.

Embraer last week unveiled plans to offer higher-capacity variants of its 170/190 E-Jets. The modifications will not require structural changes or new testing. The 170, now at 78 seats, also will be offered with 80. The 86-seat 175 will be offered with 88 seats, the 108-seat 190 with 114 and the 118-seat 195 with 122.

Its the old more seats in the same amount of space. Also sounds like something US would love to be part of. Gotta start working on that diet!

Odd that today's Republic order is for the 86 seat version of the 175.
