Towards what? EIS with whom? There are no orders for 175-E2. The only orders were from SkyWest and... Nordik something. Both have cancelled, they are no longer on Embraer's backlog.

Well, if you look at it like this, it is a bad year... for now. However, in 2018 alone A220 got the same number of orders as the entire E2 program since 2011.

How did you figure that? How did A220 lost $900 mil? And it wasn't E2 that made 440mln. The entire Embraer company made that, and that includes parts, services, military sales, etc., etc.

Yes, there is. Airbus moved quickly and acquired the C-Series Ltd. as soon as they had a chance, while Boeing first rejected Bombardier's offer to cooperate on C-series, and was then caught napping when the aircraft market "suddenly" shifted from under them.
