If this is the case EMB must be giving the aircrafts away. At best the 190 is untested and the few flying in the EU can provide little info on long term suitablity / reliability and robustness. I find it strange that your company would opt for this plane without seeing a lot more in the service of others. The success of its bedfellows 135/145 is mainly to do with cheap purchase at the outset, most Uk operators had a lot of teething troubles with the first batch which has taken some 5 years to sort out.
