I went onboard one of Embraer's newest yet worst-selling jets and can't understand why more airlines aren't buying it. See inside the Embraer E195-E2
Aircraft manufacturers in the past decade have found success in revitalizing their best-selling aircraft and incorporating new technologies to increase efficiency and performance capabilities. (www.businessinsider.com) More...

Another manufacturer getting screwed by Boeing. Embraer should never have talked to Boeing and because they also screwed Bombardier, they forced them into Airbus' arms, who are now eating their lunch. Embraer in a way, got screwed twice by Boeing.
I have found this debate very interesting, within the wider concept of global trade.
The country of Wales (to the west of England on the island of Great Britain within the United Kingdom) makes every Airbus wing (along with factories in Northern Ireland - another part of the UK - which contribute many parts to the A220 programme).
Well, I hope that the USA (a strong proponent of "globalisation/globalization") will think twice before trying to browbeat Canada again. At least Airbus can now sell a global product (including using its globalised FAL in Mobile) to deliver world-leading products into ALL markets.
If anything proves the "law of unintended consequences" it was this attempt to frig the marketplace. I found it interesting that American (as in "registered, capitalised and operated within the CONUS") airlines got around the "new aircraft" tariffs by flying their new aircraft around the world (away from the USA) then registering them as old airframes.
I wish Boeing well - but they need to understand that the world has changed, is more open and that the investigative industry is WAY more able to dig out dirt. When you launch a poorly-developed, inadequately tested product, where safety-critical functions are re-labelled as "optional", people are likely to die.
Competition should raise standards and is to be encouraged - that has been the cornerstone of global commerce for decades.
Build the best product and the world will buy it.
Happy New Year to one and all.

hard to imagine this aircraft's profile of performance fits so few operators. There is a long waiting line for the airbus A220, and probably less waiting for this.
the gravitation towards the A220 could be fueled by the simple fact that the A220 was a clean-sheet design and takes advantage of as many efficiencies as available vs the Embraer which has followed Boeing down the path of often stretching the lifespan of 25-year-old technology (if not older - ex" 737) by bolting on upgrades (ex: NEO). In this segment, Airbus was able to leapfrog Boeing and even themselves by securing majority ownership of the Bombardier technology.
Still sad how the C-series got shafted by all the tariffs and political bs, now we're more or less down to one less aircraft manufacturer and thus less competition.
You're right
