Embraer 190 Could Alter Competitive Equation

JetBlue CEO David Neeleman told the The Street.com, that the Embraer 190, could change competitive dynamics because of its size, quality and comfort. “You have a comfortable, wide seat, the best legroom, big windows and no middle seats,” he said, adding that what he saw from Bombardier was the same old thing only longer which did not fit the JetBlue customer experience. The airline has 101 ERJ 190s on order with options for 100 more and, next month will be joined by USAirways in operating the aircraft.
