Embraer has delayed the certification date for the E175-E2 by one year to 2021. Among other factors, the delay has been partially attributed to continued resistance by North American pilot unions to permitting regional jet carriers from operating aircraft with a take-off weights greater than 86,000 pounds - effectively protecting the mainline carrier routes from being taken over by the lower-paying, regional jet airlines.
