Indeed, the latest Embraer models are a quantum leap forward. I even enjoyed my flight in Y on US on an E jet! And, of course, F on a UA Express E jet was even better...

It will be interesting to see what Embraer comes up with next. I believe Embraer is awaiting an announcement from Boeing concerning a replacement or upgrade for the B737 series before they move forward with regard to their possible new model.
