I'm not sure that would ever fly, sounds like suicide for whatever company did it.

I would probably give up on an airline career.

E195-E2:
Length: 136 ft.
Span: 115 ft.
Weight: 133,821 lbs.
Range: 2,450 nm.
737-200:
Length: 100 ft.
Span: 93 ft.
Weight: 128,100 lbs.
Range: 2,600 nm.
737-400:
Length: 119 ft.
Span: 95 ft.
Weight: 150,000 lbs.
Range: 2,060 nm.
737-700:
Length: 110 ft.
Span: 117 ft.
Weight: 154,500 lbs.

If anyone operates this thing as a contract carrier, it's time to find a new line of work. There's not one single thing that's "regional" about this airplane.

With the exception of Alaska and maybe Southwest (I can't find their contract right now) this is well above everybody's scope limits.

Southwest's scope would prevent this. Alaska's would not. That's a huge problem.

How's the wing built? What's the internal structure? A bit disconcerting how the dihedral appears to change at the engine.Oh, great. Now I can get cramped with even more passengers:

Why is that disconcerting?
I'm not sure what you mean by "scaled down." I'm all for it, scope is important since it's essentially protecting against an even worse B scale.
I can see SkyWest doing that too.
Or said company guaranteeing their pilots can't move on.
Alaska's union leadership need to work on that, ASAP!

When do their Section 6 negotiations begin?

I believe SkyWest's contract with Delta says that they can't operate planes for other carriers that are bigger than what Delta's scope allows. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.
By the way, this is already happening in Europe. Darwin Airlines in Switzerland operates for Alitalia and Etihad. "Etihad Regional, operated by Darwin Airlines."

I predict that in spite of the expert opinions of pilots, it will fly and make money. What do I win?

I'm pretty sure that if we can placate Long Beach by making the CR7 weigh 74,999lb max for DCI and former-Alaska-By-SkyWest, there'll be some way to get the MTOW down to what it would need to be.Well there is an E2 that has been scaled down (E175-E2) and flies in 2020. Skywest ordered 100 and has purchase rights for 100 more. But it seats 80 and a MTOW of 98,700 lbs - both of which are a problem with everyone's scope. We shall see if labor has enough leverage to keep them out of the regionals. Just getting a scope clause at my shop is the current battle, because as is we could get hosed and all 200 end up with an Eskimo on the tail.
"Hey Embraer. Slap a placard on that."

And despite/in spite of various and sundry pilot complaints (we will always have complaints), I'm almost 100% confident Embraer has built another marvelous airplane.
