embraer is a great company with great planes, even the royal air force uses embraer aircraft (tucano).
Before you make a complete idiot of yourself, note that the Tucano is a Shorts aircraft - built entirely in Belfast, which is significantly different from the Embraer upon which it is based.

I could pick apart all your posts, but quite frankly I cannot be bothered as there is so much nonsense within them, not to mention poor grammar and lack of paragraphs. Unsurprisingly, 'infer' is a word, and you simply appear ignorant with your childish post. The grammar is why nobody understood that phrase of yours at first glance - nobody here cares to lecture people on grammar, but when one cannot understand a post it is a different matter entirely. So in short, no, nobody can read much of what you are writing, so wind your neck in and post in an adult manner.

If you can't stand people's views here, then go away. Your only comments so far that have the slightest bearing on the aircraft's suitability for one airline or another are that you 'wouldnt turn down a shot flying it' (sp), and that a US Airways jet was 'a smooth ride'?

Quite frankly, I am curious as to how you have posted in one of your prior posts in August "i currently have around 2000hrs in the 737-200 and am thinking of coming back to europe for family reasons. i was speaking to a friend of..."; and follow up in September with "just completed my 737-200 type at FTI in denver colorado."...


Why have US passenger carriers not ordered the A380?

1) Extremely low profitability and poor balance sheets, preventing financing
2) Point-to-point services do not support it at densities flown
3) Poor infrastructure in the US for the aircraft at major airfields, such as LAX - one of a few reasons why Virgin is no longer the first to fly the aircraft and chose a later delivery.

It has very little to do with startup loans, which though given by governments to Airbus with lower rates, are indeed repayable. Neither does it have anything to do with politics as US airlines have operated Airbuses from A300 upwards.
