On a recent return flight with United, I had a leg from LAX on an Embraer 175 aircraft. I’m always curious about what I’m flying and I had never flown on an Embraer before. It was a 3 hour flight with a 2-2 seat configuration. Compared to the Southwest B737s I usually fly I thought it was very comfortable. Much more comfortable than the CRJs I’ve flown on.
The new Embraers are great and leapfrogged the CRJ’s from the sewer-tube ERJ’s, but the NEW bombardier CS100-CS300 (only Swiss, AirBaltic and Korean are flying them now) are even better than the Latest Embraers (3-2 seating, quiet, modern)
Delta will probably be the first to get the CS’s in the US, and people will like them. The CS is 100 seats without having to walk 1/2 mile to the last row like 100 seats in an Embraer. Family’s get the 3 side, business travelers get the 2 side. MD80 seating with the fuel economy of a CRJ.
And best of all, thanks to Trump getting elected, they will be made in Mobile, Alabama (most of the expensive parts of a CS100 CS300 are already made in the USA)
