  1. Embraer is headquartered in the town of Sao Jose dos Campos , State of São Paulo. It has since expanded its footprint in the State , and further beyond in the US , with a facility in the state of Florida. Its precursor , like many other contemporaries , was making small prop planes. Like a Cessna plane. Crop sprayers , small chartered single be dual engines. The company was handpicked by the Brazilian Military Brass in the late 60’s over other small sized domestic manufacturers , who competed against Embraer at that time. The nod towards Embraer made it easy for Government procurement contracts and the much needed bankrolling to engage into bigger aircraft programs. At that same time , once they were the handpicked ones, they built a regional turboprop freight and passenger aircraft to carry cargo and people to far flung regions, the Bandeirantes. They also got orders for a training and recognizance single engine aircraft , the Xavantes. The Brazilian Air Force needed more than that, so fighter jet orders were filled in by a French aircraft builder , Marcel Dassault. Eventually , Embraer got into the jet propulsion with orders for its civilian charter jet builds. And cargo transport planes. And since then , it has experienced incremental grow on orders and building towards large frames.

  4. If the C Suite wanted Engineering talent , then Huntsville AL would be the place to go. Not South Carolina. It was a self serving cost cutting move without contemplating the consequences.

  5. Agree with you , even not knowing the fallout inside out. For those who advocate Embraer’s merger, partnership , or outright buyout , either they are misled , or they have ulterior motives. The fallout was the best thing it ever happened to Embraer. It allows the company to charter their own organic growth , while maintaining its steady pace, one market at the time, and one platform at the time. There is a beauty in creating various cash cow through different aircraft frame types. One program funds the other. That and the fact the corporate culture does not get tainted as it happened to Boeing. And the fact the Brazilian Government might be a stakeholder in it , it helps to provide some level of stability and keep institutional investors at arms length.

  6.  @RM-el3gw  So said you. I don’t think anyone at Embraer wants your recipe for poison.

  7.  @Darkwhitte  why would the good folks at Embraer to buy in on such liability? McDonnell Douglas was as bad as it came as a warning o; roads not to travel.

  8.  @patjohnston4047  it is a publicly traded company , and the Brazilian Government owns a stakehold in it.

  9. The Bandeirantes was a 70’s turboprop aircraft. Maintained through spares but no longer in production.

  10. Not a chance with Tata. They have nothing of value to offer. That and the fact it would dilute the Brazilian Government’s control over the company. And the largest Indian carrier issued a large order , 40% towards Boeing , and 60% towards Airbus. Not a single aircraft order towards Embraer. So much for this BRICS nonsense, when Indians still rather suck up to Americans and claim BRICs brotherhood to Brazil but give nothing in return.
