RE: Any Plans For BBD To Launch A New Generation CRJ?

I would expect Bombardier to invest where it can get the best return on its investment. Currently that would probably be a CSeries stretch and incremental improvements to the Q400 and CRJ. The CSeries stretch would seem to give the largest payoff once they have the production rate up, unit costs dow...

RE: CRJ Cabin Refresh

I don't think it is too late. A new cabin to help passengers differentiate between new and old aircraft and to improve comfort levels combined with the Passport engine which one would assume would be a fairly easy task to put on the CRJ once the Global 7000 is flying will keep the CRJ competitive.

RE: Latam Launches New Livery

The airport presence makes sense. A stylized South America fits. Somehow when they translated that to the aircraft they lost the whole point.

RE: Bombardier Confirms Delta CSeries Order

This order must make the air finance order holders happy. It will be a lot easier to place those aircraft now. I can't wait to see which airlines get them. It is those leased aircraft that will put the CSeries on routes in every corner of the globe.

RE: Delta To Place Narrowbody Order Part 4

Bombardier targets completion of between 255 and 315 aircraft by the end of 2020, with an expectation of reaching up to 120 per year on the current line.

With Delta taking Republics slots I would expect that if Delta wanted them before the end of 2019 they could get them that fast.

RE: CSeries CS500 - What's To Lose?

What is to lose? The company itself. It needs to pay off some of the R&D already invested, before investing more on the stretch. It will happen at some point if Bombardier stays afloat.

RE: UA Close To 737-700 Purchase

That graph is useful comparing Fuel to Labor but of no use comparing airlines because the chart shows percentages. The more wasteful a company is with non-labor and non-fuel items, the better they would look on this chart.

RE: UA Close To 737-700 Purchase

Bombardier needs to stop messing around and do the deals that Boeing would. Trade the 737-700s for CS300s, make the sale on CS100s, and then on the next negotiation with a different company where it doesn't look like CSeries is in the running, maybe an airline that wants Q400s and 737s... sell the 7...
