E195-E2 takes flight

[RDoug]

Oh, great. Now I can get cramped with even more passengers:

Embraer E195-E2 Narrowbody Airliner Takes Flight

Those spinny things on the wings look yuuuge

I'd rather fly on an E-Jet than a 737.

I'll one up ya.

I'd rather fly on a 1900 than a 737.

From a pax perspective, the E-jets are a really nice ride. Miles ahead of the 145 series.

 

[Baronman]

Just about anything is preferable to how most airlines config their 737's.

Plane looks nice and yes most EJets are a nice ride.

 

[thevideographer]

The engines finally look big enough for the plane.

This actually looks like a baby 757.

Look at that width! Does it even fit in a 80x80 stand?

Yeah but it has the new Pratt&whittney engines soo.

AA's new group 1 aircraft replacement?

And better than a CRJ

The only thing that would make that thing nicer is a scope clause that keeps it (and any variants) firmly on a mainline seniority list.

I was thinking the same exact thing. Like it's pissed off and out to avenge its big brother...

Rather it be AA's new Group 1 aircraft rather than going to Envoy or Republic.

Get them on properly and when the next contract rolls around, solidify scope and close the pay gap between Group 1 and Group 2.

Isn't the 175e2 already too heavy for scope? I thought scope already limited MTOW to something like 87k?

 

[ZapBrannigan]

I'm betting we will see the E2 scaled down to something that fits within scope, just like the E170 does today... unless we collectively put our foot down to stop it.

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.

Totally agree!

 

[BlueMoon]

The most terrifying thing would be Skywest or some other airline inking a deal to fly them for one of the ME3 as their connection carrier in the US.

I can see it now Emirates US operated by _______ Airlines
