  Hi Mr. Cranky
  I would like to know your opinion about the E-Jets (from Embraer), compared to the C-Series and the lower-end Bs and As

  EJets vs C Series

  Flight Surgeon - Well, they're really trying to serve a different market. The E-jets are around 70 to 100 seats whereas the C-Series is 110 to 130. So, in that sense they may both be very good. Embraer has stayed far away from Boeing and Airbus, but Bombardier is going to overlap on the low end. It will be interesting to see if they can truly produce a superior airplane.
