It's no secret that the Embraer E190LR is one of the most popular regional jets both in real life and on airline empires. 114 max seat capacity and 2000 miles range on a fairly fuel efficient airframe and good runway performance is just about ideal for most regional routes in the game. The SJ 100-95LR an almost identical aircraft to the E190LR, except for in one major metric - it has almost 1000 more miles of range over the E190LR. It's literally an E190LR-ER, and is cheaper than the E190LR by about 10 million buckeroos also. Why don't more people operate this aircraft?

Because it comes out in 2013, only seven years before most worlds are reset.

Also its russian so many people deem it unrealistic for airlines in EU/north america which in the game represents a majority of airlines

Also slower which means you can’t operate as many flights and fuel burn is c. 10% higher per passenger.

I play Russian and Eastern Bloc airlines a lot so I use it. You get more bang for your buck using a bigger aircraft on 2000+nm routes and you get more bang for your buck with E190/F100/B146 on shorter ones.

Well, I don't operate planes this small (except immediately upon starting), so I do think its 2013 release year is the main problem. There just isn't that much use for it late in the game (well, if you're playing to win trophies that is.)
