So I'm just mulling future fleet decisions for my airline in S3-C and I'm debating if I keep the ERJ145s into the future or swap them out in the early 2010s for a few ATR42-600s to replace them or if I just retire the routes the 145s serve entirely.
 

The ERJ fleet represents a rather small portion of my airline's overall income, E170s seemed like a possibility and the E190 would allow me to replace the Fokkers though there was something else I had in mind to replace the Fokker fleet. I'd like to try and stick to just having 2 family types in my airline.

 

So what would y'all do? Keep the ERJ145s, get something else (and what?), or retire the routes.

Might as well swapped them for ATR72 and/or Q400. Efficiency is the key.

 

The main reason why ERJ represent small portion of income is because that plane consumed lots of fuel. ATR42, ATR72 or Q400 would be way more efficient and you would see uptake in income for those particular routes you deployed them to.

I would say retire the ERJ's and replace them with EMB-170's or 175's. Any other planes that you have serving the same market should also be replaced with EMB's in order to maintain fleet commonality and save on maintenance cost

Both very interesting approaches, and both make sense in their own ways thanks!
