You would think that an aviation magazine such as Australian aviation would appreciate the difference between an "ejet" and an "erj"
Being picky I know, but jetgo do not operate ejets, they operate erj's. Ejets being the marketing name for the 170/190 family of aircraft. A completely different beast to the erj, which is just a tarted up Brasilia with jet engines.
That all said the e2 series looks interesting, I hope the PW geared engine has better economics than the cf34 because despite being a scaled cfm56 (the -10 series anyway) the cf34 is quite an expensive engine to operate, though in fairness it hasn't had the years of operation that the cfm56 and may well become significantly cheaper to operate as it mature as a platform.
