Unless loaded with halve and halve of couples and singles whch could mean 3/4 load.
It would mean that somebody will have to come up with some smart planning software for seating and loading and that slf load limits will depend on the passengers normal cohabitation arrangements.
In all the commuter planes takeover of the 73x/32x market could be shortlived.

Not just that. The US taxpayer would also have to spend money to save what is now Embraer...
As for the repercussions of cancelling the deal: when has the US ever complied with international law when it was not in their own interest? Especially with the current president...

In case you have not figured it out, the US is tired of doing things that are not in our own best interest. You'll get over it so don't worry.

It will give Airbus absolutely nothing in terms of model range expansion (unless they want to dive into the business jets market) but will eliminate a competitor for their A220 for at least the next decade.
I doubt the European taxpayers would look to kindly on Airbus dumping billions of Euros into a foreign acquisition at the same time they are cutting workforce and asking for government assistance.
Only half a speed-brake
I am sourly afraid you overestimate the lucidity of the average EU taxpayer, as well as the means any set of citizens - who are constrained by voting within their national entities - may have on forming the top-level polices. Let alone holding accountable those who make them. [/rant

CHINA Expected To Buy Embraer - Reuters
Noted earlier in Boeing news that the proposed takeover the Brazilian firm has fallen through
UBS have noted that China may be interested in buying up Embraer's commercial planes- "We believe China still aspires to a global aerospace leadership position and, in our view, (Embraer) would bring both the talent for design and development."

Youre looking at the wrong bit

I wouldn't say that producing a new type aimed at the US commuter market which does not meet the US scope agreements so none of them will order it is the height of marketing acumen.

Could Brasil afford to finally give away what they have created over tens of years for billions? I think Embraer should cooperate with other guys, Japan, Korea and such. Maybe Indonesia, Malaysia, Turkey.

The best bet for Airbus would be to swoop in and buy a bunch of the options out there...It would prevent a sale to COMAC.
As we have seen in the press, Boeing is reducing their workforce with early outs...they were doing this in anticipation of moving Engineering offshore...consolidating 787 production in SC, and shutting down the 747 line in Evertt, and moving the 737 Renton line to Everett (a much better location)
Now, what will they do for engineering, everyone with experience is gone....

This is a distinction that may become very important in the comming months as 'United" retire their CR 200's for example...
The article states "Alaska Airlines, for example, flies the 76-seat E-175"- While you could argue the layman wouldn't take exception to this, there's much confusion, especially in Europe over scope, and why the US airline industry breaks down around the 76 seater.
