Look, someone has been asked to justify the Embraer purchase, as simple as that.
The 318 has been a commercial failure due to high cost per seat mile, indeed Frontier Airlines for example are scapping almost new aircraft, yes, parting them out.
The Bombardier looks great on paper, however it's till three years away.
So what are we left with, yep, the good old E-jet.
So there we have it, the justification is signed sealed and delivered, more E-jets on their way is my guess)
AND
The passengers will 'just have to change their attitudes' or exercise their options, which are many.
See ya on the Sitra-Muharraq express....
