Yes, why doesn't Cityflyer operate from LGW? Routes that wouldn't support a 737/32x may work nicely with an Embraer. I wonder if there was a clause in the sale of BA Connect to Flybe that prevents it?

Even so, wouldn't it be possible to add Embraers to the LGW fleet itself? If the 737s are completely replaced with 32x types, and some Embraers were added, there'd still only be three LGW aircraft types, so the single fleet LGW cabin crew wouldn't exceed the number of types they can be certified for, no?
