Sad. Very sad.

Not really.  This is a day the ramp, maintenance, and possibly pilots were looking forward to.  I know for a fact majority of the ramp and maintenance wanted JetBlue to get rid of the E190's.  When the E-190's broke, they stayed broke, parts are more difficult to come by due to limited airlines operating them, which in turn made the reliability and maintenance of the aircraft unacceptable.

Haha you might like it, but I'm a diehard Boeing fanboy, and i was hoping that JetBlue would continue with the Embraer Family. And in North America, the E-Jet is actually very widespread. Air Canada, Delta, American, United, JetBlue, Alaska (some of them with their regional contracts but you get the point) all operate the E-Jet family. Not quite as popular in Europe, but still a popular aircraft, so while parts may be hard to find, it's not because of limited operator base.
