Great job! The E170 is much, much nicer than the tubular CRJ-700. I was in the States a few weeks back and flew on a United Express copy of the E170 and I was very impressed. Seemed like a mini- Airbus and the flight deck was fantastic with the ProLine Epic package - more advanced than most other aircraft.
Which aircraft will this likely replace - the 737-200 or the MD90s? The Saudi guys will enjoy flying it. Any chance non-Saudis will have the opportunity? Awesome aircraft!

The 732's are long gone expect for maybe just one doing Jeddah-Bisha route due to the MD-90 being unsuited for operations from that runway.

Somehow i "expect" to see 9 E170s and 6 E190s.....
The aircraft isnt replacing anything, its an additional fleet that will require some expat Captains but only local First Officers.
Newscaster, MD90 started using Bisha months ago, presently using the upgraded taxiway as the runway is repaired. HZAGR is the only B737 left.
