beechbum,
As a UK based ERJ driver, please enlighten us with your 'facts' on Embraer runway excursions?
The aircraft handles well under wet or dry conditions, and there have been no issues with the anti-skid system.
It may surprise you that most operators who have taken the "Thrust Reverser" option have found it more hassle than its worth, with many operators actually locking them out. Ironically, those operators also have the highest number of brake unit changes per aircraft than the rest of us.
As for runway excursions, they can occur, regardless if the aircraft uses reverse thrust or not.
