    Indeed.

    Ironingly, they generally lack auto throttles.

      What is the function of the black/yellow colored lever (visible in the above photograph)?

        That's the Emergency/Parking brake handle.
        If it 'ain't broken........ Don't try to mend it !

          Although the aircraft in the picture not only has autothrottles, but autobrakes as well. Also, it's not Enbraer, but EMBRAER.

            That was tiiiiime ago.

            Now they have aithothrottle, fly-by-wire, and what not.

              The proximity of the N key to the M key plus a possibly slightly podgy finger probably had something to do with the spelling mistake. Not a crime worthy of involving the spelling police.

                    There we are, all fixed. Now we can all sit down and have a nice, calming cup of tea ! Just a note on capitalisation though. The Embraer website uses both Embraer and EMBRAER !!

                            ...of course, let's not forget the dead serious issue that these "mini" "Regional" Jets have an extremely good safety record, as compared to a number of other "big iron" airliners.

                            AND we might also assume (with probably some accuracy) that they are operated by lower time, less experienced pilots, operating at smaller airports with less weather information, smaller runways and much less "PIREP" type information from a steady stream of aircraft at a big airport.

                              as far as "regionals" go, this wasn't so mini. this was one of AA's relatively new E175's. 76 seats and a range far beyond the ERJ line of true regional jets.

                              gotta say, that although most people are not big fans of these smaller ac's i was very comfortable up in first in a chair that rivaled anything in aa's domestic "1st class" which in the vast majority of their fleet, is just a bigger seat with more legroom. the lav was also astoundingly roomy.
