I wish (that's all it is... wishful thinking) that AeroLitoral, soon to be merged into AeroCaribe and, potentially renamed, would change its orders and options for 145's to 170's.

AA negotiated to allow the E170 to have a weight exemption to qualify as a 70 seater for Eagle. Alas, they won't be ordering for months. But when they do, the order should be large (say for 50).
For NW, I see an order that is 50% E170's (regional partner) and 50% E190's (mainline) to replace some DC-9s. I agree with Amtrackguy's assessment that 33% to 50% of the remaining DC-9's will be replaced by A319's.
Also, I see CO ordering 50 or so if the pilots accept a higher count of 70 seaters.
Some DL express carrier (if DL can get more 70 seaters allowed).
Anyone know of a European airline that's interested? While I like the E-jets, I'm not seeing much of an Asian market (excluding possibly JET in India).
It seems like the market has voted for range over CASM (170 vs. 175, 190 vs. 195).
Lightsaber.
Need to throw a party every six months to organize the place.

Comair's new CEO has already stated that if they get the wage freezes they are asking for, they will be in line for new routes flown by 170s. Can't find the article now, but it was in the Cinci. Enquirer.

US will shortly be placing an order for the EMB-190, probably for 60 of them (as many as they are permitted to operate), probably converting some of their EMB-170 orders into the larger type in the process.
(US will also be converting most if not all of their 30-some remaining CRJ-700 orders into CRJ-900 orders, as already permitted under their contract with Bombardier.)
I'm the expert on here on two things, neither of which I care about much anymore.

PPVRA
The case of Air France getting EMB170/190s (in fact not AF , but the franchise carriers) is a little bit complex and is tied to the new fighter that the Brasilian AF is seeking to acquire.
The front runners for this competition is the SU27 (Russia) and the Mirage2000 (France).
In exchange for the choice of the Russian fighter by Brasil , it is said that Aeroflot will buy EMB170/190s.Actually they are searching for a plane in this category.
If Brasil decides to go ahead with the Mirage2000 , then the AF franchise partners will buy EMB170/190s.If not , surely they will turn to CRJ900s.
What i can know now , is that these AF franchise partners have stopped negociations with Canadair , and surely are waiting for the selection of the Brasilian AF.They are not in hurry.
So , obviously another political story............
But do not be afraid , surely these new Embraer planes will sell very well.
Do you know something about the planned purchase of these planes by TAM?
Once they were interested by these planes (and if i well remember they signed a MOU........what's the value ?) and the A318.
I know brasilian airlines are struggling to survive , and thus maybe it's not time for them to purchase new planes , but TAM seems to be this with the better health.

TAM was deciding between Airbus and Embraer to replace its fleet of F-100 (at one time TAM had the biggest fleet of F-100 in the world). A decision was made to replace the F-100s with Airbuses.
now brasilian airlines are struggling to survive , and thus maybe it's not time for them to purchase new planes , but TAM seems to be this with the better health.
TAM and GOL are both in good financial health. In 2004 GOL placed an order of 49 B737-800s, and now has the biggest fleet of 737NG in LatAm. I expect GOL' s Beoing-based fleet to expand rapidly, while TAM will continue with its strategic growth probably make some fresh orders of Airbuses in 2005.

FCKC,
I am very familiar with political meddling in the aviation industry and do not want to appear naive, but what do AF's regional franchise partners have to do with a Brazilian fighter procurement decision? Yes, I know Dassault has partnered with Embraer to offer the F2000BR for the FX-BR contract and I know Dassault is a small shareholder in Embraer.
But, aren't AF's regional affiliates independent private companies? Don't they make capital investment decisions on their own, without any influence by the French government. An analogy would be, say, Republic [franchise carrier for US, DL and UA here in the US] deciding on whether to purchase the E170/190 based on whether Lockheed's F16 won the FX-BR contract. This is absurd, to say the least! Or, SK or BA deciding on the E170/190 based on whether the Bae/SAAB Gripen was chosen!
How can the French government possibly influence an independent capital investment decision made by a private enterprise? Why would private companies allow the State to boss them around?

By top of mind, some for CO, AA, NW more to US UA DL(with republic) probably LH will get some, and Virgin Blue too.
Heck, when B6 get´s theirs why not say Ryanair and some LCC´s in Europe.
Think B6 will teach the LCC a new lesson, to be profitable with a 2 type fleet.

If AA purchases as EMB 190, it will be for Eagle, not AA. Well... sort of. It will be an Eagle painted aircraft with all coach seating but operated by AA crews. This will keep the pilots' unions happy. Right now they are not happy at all with all of the AA flowbacks that Eagle is getting. With these new Embraers, they can let mainline AA fly the larger jets for Eagle while keeping the original routes for themselves.

AA all the way!!!
