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. |

Given the above article has not mention of ERJ, you lost me

Exactly! The article said that jet go were an operator of ejets. They are not. That was my point

Embraer E195-E2 completes first flight
Embraer’s E195-E2 has commenced its flight test program with a successful maiden flight at the company’s Sao Jose dos Campos facility. The largest variant of the E2 family of regional jets, powered by two Pratt & Whitney PurePower geared turbofan engines, took off at 1122 local time on March 29 and flew for two hours, Embraer said in a statement. The flight tested the aircraft’s performance, flight quality, systems behaviour such as autopilot, fly-by-wire in direct mode and the landing gear retraction. Pilots Márcio Brizola Jordão and José Willi Pirk were at the controls, accompanied by flight engineers Celso Braga de Mendonça and Mario Ito.
