I dunno. Embraer builds some nice jets.

I must admit that the only reason I'm wary of Brazilian made aircraft is because I've traveled there and was particularly unimpressed with just about everything I saw there.For example...staying in a mid-level hotel in Rio (not $500 a night but not $50 either) I happened to mention to the desk clerk that I was drinking the tap water.In a shocked tone he said "oh no,sir,it's not at all wise to drink the tap water in this city".

If a country can't even provide clean tap water in its most important city I'm not gonna trust its ability to build a safe aircraft.

Just sayin....

I was in Rio at a fairly upscale hotel. The clerk spoke perfect English and asked me if I’d ever been to Rio before. When I said no, he went over how important it was to never drink the tap water. He also went as far to say that I should use the complementary bottled water to rinse my mouth out when brushing my teeth. Also he warned when I order drinks don’t get drinks with ice in them! Beer was the safest bet. Only the locals have the constitution to handle the water in Rio and only small amounts at a time.
