Jump to postThe time has come, for Bombardier to show something to potential customers. Bombardier must do what it takes to get orders in. It would be a big mistake to miss that opportunity.

A lot of airlines (and probably Delta) are in a ''wait and see'' mode in regard to the Cseries. They're waiting for Bombardier to throw confirmed figures at them, performance wise, before they commit to the Cseries.

Jump to post1: They should have built the A380-1000, first. Then the A380-900, and then, the A380-800.
2: They should have designed the A380F, as a front loader, instead of a side loader.
Any thoughts on that?

The current EADS siamese, two headed management (French and German), is likely to lead the company to a shameful failure, in the long run. So wether its the Germans, or the French, EADS will have to pick one, to run the show. It's a matter of survival.
