Looks like it is official.
I used to work for FedEx in Mississauga, and would often go to the MHI assembly building nowhere near the airport (on Meadowvale Blvd at Mississauga Rd.). I remember walking in one day to see a full size, fully assembled (I think) CRJ or Global Express. As of today, it shows as "SPP Canada Airc...

I figured someone would have posted this by now. Interesting to read, but as an enthusiast I can't comment on too much otherwise...

No official announcement, anyone have an idea how many jets it could be for?

So how will this effect the build plate (not sure the correct terminology)? I was in an RCAF C-17 a few years ago...still a McDonnell Douglas plate even though was built as Boeing. Will they still Be Bombardier or change over to Airbus?

Jump to postFSD (Sioux Falls SD) to MSP...sometimes CRJ200/700/900...to an A320. Really surprised me since I'd done the flight maybe 20 times before. Haven't been there in a couple years though.
Jump to postFor the E2/C-series, orders are a must (in particular for the E2, the c-series had a nice Air Baltic top off which brings orders on paper over 400, giving some confidence as that is an important economy of scale threshold). MRJ is on hold. :cry: The NEO has a classy problem, its sold too well. Airb...

Don't forget it isn't a 100 seat aircraft...CS100 is 108 dual class, and 120-125 single class depending on seat pitch. Same as CS300 is 130/140/150 depending on layout. Even max capacity of 100/300 is 133/160 with 28" pitch.

Embraer is in trouble. You cant do anything when a 80mi airplane is legally sold for 20mi. Do you honestly not understand anything about the sales process or anything to do with this situation? Have you read the thousands of posts about this? You should really do some more research or your 2 weeks ...
Jump to postSo...now what with Canada/UK defense contracts? Will they open them back up to Boeing assuming they more or les back down quietly? And will Boeing slowly increase the price of things, specifically on the support side when contracts are up?

Jump to postThat's great they found some! Nine into Lake Ontario, and two into the Atlantic from somewhere in Virginia.
Jump to postTake a look at "cseries_fanpage" on Instagram. A photo was posted today showing 3x (appear to be completed) Swiss and 2x Korean jets. You cant see if they have engines or not, but they all look very close to being finished.
Jump to postIt’s not really out of nowhere...they were part of the world tour a few weeks ago. I guess seeing the plane on home turf was the final confirmation it is what they wanted. That was before the Airbus announcement. I wonder if the announcement afterwards and A320 purchases at this time are all tied in...
Jump to postI now see the CS500 being developed and the A319neo being effectively dead. This is a coup for Airbus...as they can market the CSeries. The A319NEO and -7 MAX were already effectively dead. ;) This just puts enough life into the CS300 to make it thrive. I'm alternating opinions on the CS500 (will i...
Jump to postLooks like the Canadian government might want to show Airbus some gratitude for saving Canadian jobs by purchasing some Eurofighter Typhoons (Airbus joint venture). I was thinking is, but I'll put my money on A330MRTT first (and sooner than late) and Bombardier gets the new FWSAR service and suppor...

Not sure how the import duties would work for leasing deals. Let's say BBD sets up a leasing unit JV with DL in one tax heavens. The Leasing company takes ownership of the aircraft as price agreed in the original deal. Now what if the Leasing unit "Leases" the aircraft $1/month which woul...
Jump to postAs expected, there is a flurry of fighting over date of sale... Do you mean fighting over whether or not the sale has actually occurred yet (commitment date vs. contract date vs. delivery date?), and therefore whether dumping could even have taken place yet? Funny that Boeing says it doesn't care l...
Jump to postJust a theory, I believe this is part of an action to drive Bombardier from the marketplace of passenger airlines. In the process, the end game would be the selling off of the different divisions where Boeing would love to buy the C-Series as a means to gain a new NSA program on the cheap due to th...
Jump to postI wonder how much Bombardier was going to shrink the CS100 for United. Forgive me if I am wrong, they aren't going to shrink it. It's a "lite" version like Delta bought, basically a standard CS100 but with range restrictions placed on it. If they want the full range then they pay more. I ...
Jump to postYes, the Coast Guard is most certainly a part of the military. I'm continually amazed that people don't know that, but lots of folks don't seem to. No, the USCG is NOT part of the military. Yes, we are part of the armed services, however the military is part of the DoD, while we in the Coast Guard ...

I just read on the Globe & Mail business website that the F-18 order will not be taken up by the Canadian military. Good-I hope they can explain the loss of a $5 billion order to their stakeholders in favourable way. That's interesting... Without getting too off topic... https://sencanada.ca/co...

Why in earth would an airline that only opened up 7 months ago and serves 3 cities with four 320s order wide bodies? Shows you how subservient the Gulf countries are to the US.

Jump to postI see this as protectionism under a different guise. Boeing had no competing product. :checkmark: Absolutely. Honestly, I'm not sure if Boeing has truly thought this one through. Imagine if BBD goes under. If Boeing is seen as being a factor in such a situation, there's going to be blowback. If you...
Jump to postPeople keep calling them subsidies; money which BBD has received from the Québec and federal governments. They're not subsidies, they're loans. Of course, one can say all they want about whether they think BBD will ever pay off these loans, but the fact remains that they are loans, not gifts. I can...
