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?
im pretty sure that theres is some sort of agreement with the unions that prevents CJ from operating into LGW & LHR ?

however if this could be overcome i rekon it would open up routes and possibilities from Gatwick.

as for the 737's, these i feel arent going anywhere for a good few years yet
