Although the Embraer 190 is a newer, more advanced machine compared with the Fokker 100...in this regard the old Fokker is potentially better kitted out.
The great majority of the KLM F100s and F70 have Mode-S transponders coupled to ADS-B - at present I know of no Embarer airframes that are so equipped. Will KLM be the first? Certainly Air France Regional haven't got ADS-B on their Embraer 190s registered in the F-HBLx series.

So does this mean that, at some point, I'll be able to look forward to an Embraer for my NWI - AMS?
Must admit though, for a small aircraft the F100 isn't bad - did STN - TGL on one 18 months ago and got a Row 1 seat - sat back in the seat I could only just reach the bulkhead with my feet!

.....'fraid not, for a while.
the plan is that the E190 will be phased in over the coming few years, on the more distant, high traffic load routes like Riga, Tallin, Trondheim, etc. NWI will remain primarily a F70 destination (with 1 F50 rotation thrown in for fun )
Obviously there might be the odd day when the E190 comes in cos things have gone wrong with the fokkers
