What Does Embraer Do For Boeing?

Here below: is the standing order book from Embraer that Boeing will work with over the next multiple years.

Boeing can and will increase firm orders for the Embraer-Brazil division. The merger will give Boeing a complete suite of aircraft in which to compete from 66 passengers to 405 passengers with its aircraft. Embraer builds even smaller than 66 seats, but Boeing will focus on the E170-E195 class of Embraer aircraft.

E-170  66-78 passngers
E-175 76-88 passengers
E-190 96-114 passngers
E-195  120-146 passengers 

The Paris airshow, this year, will be an interesting affair as both Airbus and Boeing will be showing respective orders from Bombardier CS 300 and the Embraer 190-195 as an event feature for small commercial aircraft. Most orders are filled with multi-year delivery schedule giving Boeing enough time to catch the Airbus A-220-200/Bombardier(CS300) efforts. Boeing didn't buy Embraer for its scant backlog of 119 Embraer models, but it will energize sales for this type of aircraft by tying/complimenting with the 737 line of Aircraft. Expect a common avionics suite for Embraer aircraft for its  Boeing customers. Also, expect a common engine family using the leap-1B type in its line-up. These considerations will take time as in another five years before Boeing/Embraer engineers, Boeing stuff, without giving up what Embraer brings to the single-aisle table.

Watch the Paris show for Embraer 's presence with orders and its own workforce/lead engineers, who will be and should be demonstrated in the front and center during the 797 is announced. Delta is in a position to take those models as being the North American launch customer for the 797. If not, there are other airline friends eager to assume the prestigious spot as 797 launch customer for the 797, who would enjoy having the Embraer as a side-kick in its family of aircraft and I'm thinking of United at this point. It is a "United" front looking over Delta's shoulder and one slip by Delta will make its own aircraft buying quest, less desirable, as they would lose the leverage it has over Boeing. Airbus will make Delta another sweet deal for its new A220/ Bombardier program.

I have flown on both the Bombardier Regional Jet and was impressed by its comfort and style but it lacks some refinement. I have also flown on the Embraer and it was very efficient and comfortable with nice passenger qualities but it lacks some passenger room. Did I even know who made each respective aircraft when I first sat down in the seat, "no"?

Both needed a better manufacturing logo throughout the cabin. I rarely read my ticket, only for seating assignment.

I just liked the leather seats on the Embraer and the Bombardier was a little noisy. But it does count when the accountants and ground crew get a hold of one of those models. It's now up to to the handlers when managing the product. Both Airbus and Boeing will have something to do with each frame and it will fall into the manufacturer's grove. I would see A220 becoming slightly wider than the Embraer base by about one inch and the Embraer slightly more efficient than the A220 by the length of the final approach. Airbus continues its quest from a "more is better" attitude, and Boeing moves with a "better is better" approach, it's still a horse race at the jetway.

What does Embraer do for Boeing, It makes it competitive?
