I've spoken to some pilots from other airlines and they are now waiting for a major incident at London City Airport with this E-190 and the A318 about to use it. I hope their wrong. God help us all.

I don't know what is the maximum landing weight for them, but do you really think it is too different? The ERJ-190 is not really much heavier that the ARJ-100, and it has the latest flight controls technology installed plus the latest in wing aerodynamics. While the ARJ is a project from the sixties. Not to mention Embraer's safety record, which is outstanding. I will not talk about Airbus because I never worked with it. But I can tell you first hand about the ERJ-190 and the ARJ-100, because I have worked with both aircraft.
