British Airways ERJ 190/5's?

[Malaysian28]

Anyone know when BA are going to get some of their new ERJ 190/5's and what routes they are going to be on?
I know some of the 170/5's are in service.

Are the Avros being withdrawn as the new jets arrive, on a one-in, one-out basis?

I would have thought so as some of the Avros have identical regs to the Embraers, but i am not quite sure.

Consider yourself banished from spotter land....

None of the RJ's have the same reg as the Embraers just very similar. Last RJ's will go back in June.

May I ask what what the cabin lay out will be on the ERJ 190s - ie, how many pax, and are the aeroplanes due to fly almost exclusively from London City?

Thanks.

Saw what I needed to know in the above link - gameball! Very interesting, it had escaped me that ERJ 190s were a part of the order.
