Looks like a real slippery bird, as far as big birds are slippery. The
belly fairing looks much more streamlined than many other birds in that
class, to me.

It is supposed to have 6-8% lower operating costs than the Embraer 190/195
so it probably is a rather slippery bird.
Further searching says this one is a model 100-95 with a 2950 km range fully
loaded so it also has a fair range.
