Kind of a new plane for so many maintenance issues, no? Or is this just code for another reason like not enough paying customers?

Don't you remember when the first ERJs were introduced about 5 or 6 years ago and it seemed to me that there were maintenance issues with them almost every day?
I was mostly flying on CO at that time and they had started with them on some of my regular routes. Because of the unreliability of the first lot of JungleJets (or the time needed for proper shakedown), I spent a few extra nights in places like Louisville and Cincinnati.
