A 737-ski?
I’ve flown on Aeroflot, and swore I’d walk if I had to fly with them again....
Embraer 190-ovitch
Much more like a copy of the EMB 190/195 series, in the same passenger class, than a 737 copy.
This is a top of the line commuter plane replacement, built with help from Boeing. It would not be a 737 competitor.
It is fly by wire.
The request for, and granting, of an altitude clearance that would not clear the nearby mountains is puzzling.

A buddy of mine said the same thing. He said he had a few Vodka’s.
Embraer 190-ovitch
We used to call them Aeroplop, although their Trans-Atlantic service on 767s was not too bad.
Ever fly Cubana? They flew a/c they were too old for Aeroflot!
Had a friend fly Aeroflop once out of Kazyakistan and he said the only ones on the plane not smoking were the dogs.
Happy I do not fly in/out of Indonesia any longer, much less on a damn ruski suk!! After a few Indonesia flights you could sleep on a ScareWest flight.
Me too... way back when they were building the first McDonald's in Moscow. The flight (Helsinki to Moscow) was packed with Finnish workers because the USSR couldn't get anyone to work.
A bit of a rickety plane, but not as bad as Faucett (Peru) or Air Algeria.
