Re: CSeries Production/Delivery Thread 2018

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?

Re: Spirit Passenger irate after medical diversion

She had PTSD from her military service. You're right. It *is* about society, in this case a society that should be understanding and lenient towards someone with this condition. Yeah unfortunately society doesn't have much training or knowledge when it comes to mental illnesses, they just treat it ...

Re: Out of this world UPGRADES and DOWNGRADES!

FSD (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.

Re: Farnborough International Airshow 2018 Potential Orders

For 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...

Re: CSeries Production/Delivery Thread 2018

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.

Re: Bombardier Wins C-Series Case at ITC

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 ...

Re: Bombardier Wins C-Series Case at ITC

So...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?

Canada - Future Fighter Capability Project

I figure this discussion can get its own thread now that it is official and not just about cancelling the F-18 E/F from Boeing.

That's great they found some! Nine into Lake Ontario, and two into the Atlantic from somewhere in Virginia.

Re: CSeries - Flight Testing And Production Thread (Part 2)

Take 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.

Re: Cseries orders for 2017

It’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...

Re: Breaking: Airbus and Bombardier Announce C Series Partnership

I 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...

Re: Breaking: Airbus and Bombardier Announce C Series Partnership

Looks 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...

Re: U.S. Dept of Commerce backs Boeing in dispute with Bombardier

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...

Re: Boeing targets Bombardier for “price dumping” CSeries

As 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...

Re: Boeing targets Bombardier for “price dumping” CSeries

Just 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...

Re: United Continues To Evalute 100-seat Aircraft

I 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 ...

Re: Passengers get up from flight during Fallen Hero Escort

Yes, 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 ...
