If you are talking about XJT's ERJs....then no....no seperate "cargo net". They are just loaded last to be closest to the bin door and have the blue tags...hence why sometimes one person is left waiting for their gate check when all others have gotten theirs. Happens with turbulence etc and the bags get jumbled around in the cargo bin.
