The story
If you've flown a regional route in the US, you've probably been on an Embraer 175. Small enough for small cities, comfortable enough that you don't hate it. The unsung hero of the hub-and-spoke system.
In 2018 Embraer claimed about 80% of the North American 76-seat jet market with the E175, thanks to airline scope clauses that cap regional jet size.
