I don't understand how they could wait 10 years after Embraer introduced the 190 to start production of these birds. I mean, what where they doing the whole time???

Perhaps waiting for a geared turbofan? The E-jets won't be comparable. I expect the C series will pick up more a lot more sales as airlines accept that BBD is actually going to build it after a few false starts.
