Hi Keith,
Just to correct your correction regarding the designation applied to these
airliners, it should be pointed out that "Embraer 170", "Embraer 175",
"Embraer 190" - and variations thereof - are merely a marketing term.
However, the original engineering designation applied to these airliners is
EMB-170/EMB-190 and has remained unchanged. Indeed, the airframes that are
currently flying in Brazil are EMB-170-100SL.

It should be noted that he EMB-XXX designation system is employed for each
and every Embraer-produced aircraft and is applicable to AOMs, FAMs, SBs and
other aircraft maintenance and operations puiblications, as well as CTA, FAA
and JAA type certificates. That system is quite different from that employed
by Embraer for marketing purposes, the latter being subject to the vagaries
of marketing requirements. Needless to say, this occasionally engenders some
confusion regarding the designations that the Embraer applies to its
products.
