E-Jet reliability is superb and passenger cabin comfort is probably the best of any type in service on short-haul routes. If you get disrupted on an Embraer flight, it's probably the knock-on effects within the schedule from another one of the bloody Q400s going tech. If you'd asked the question of the Q400 fleet, you'd get quite a different answer - it's an atrocious aircraft in almost every respect ranging from tech reliability to passenger experience. I've never yet touched down in one of the damn things without wondering whether we'd been shot down or just landed normally. If the Argentinians invade the Falklands again, no need to send a Vulcan this time - just send a Q400 to do some touch & gos and the runway will be cratered beyond repair after a few circuits - if it doesn't go tech before it completes them, of course.
