zeronine, the only Embraer already certified for LCY is the 135. They'd like to do the 170 - in fact they sold it to Swiss on the premise that the 175 would do LCY - but it's not a done deal yet. They may well get there - as of today the 170 is neither steep approach nor LCY certified - but it would be a reduction in size compared to the 146 or the Avro. That would mean that, for growth, the only way would be to add frequency. I suppose the A318 would make quite a big step forward and allow growth in a different way. Air France have more than 120 seats on their A318s so that means a growth of 20 to 25%. Not bad! All they have to do is sort out the stand issue.
