The story
Embraer's E170 bridges the gap between turboprops and mainline jets. It gave small cities jet service without needing big-city demand. Comfortable for its size, and you get a real overhead bin.
LOT Polish Airlines took the first E170 in March 2004, and the whole E-Jet family grew from this one.
