They’re not made by EMBRAER so that won’t work.   These junkers will have to be scrapped.   :banana:

I actually did that once, when I was a young guy driving fuel trucks.....in my case I slid on a patch of ice with a load of 100 Octane, and hit the wingtip of a Mooney (as I recall)....did $23,000 of damage, just shy of totalling it.  Likely should have been fired, but they kept me on......    :bolt:

No need to fire you when they just spent 23 grand to train you.
