E195-E2 takes flight

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

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.

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.

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

Embraer E195-E2 Narrowbody Airliner Takes Flight

How's the wing built? What's the internal structure? A bit disconcerting how the dihedral appears to change at the engine.
 
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.

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 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."
 
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.

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.

"Hey Embraer. Slap a placard on that."
