RE:RE:RE:RE:its under valued Very true ...If you get to travel the world and wallow in the areospace industry you can easliy figure out that the bomber is a leader in innovation and quality in the field by a long shot ... many foreigners understand the value of having such a gem here in Quebec but we just get fed garbage talk in the media ...I like to tell the story of my tenant who says he "owes his career" to the bomber ..He got a part time job with the bomber ( while he was )in college) with help from his stepdad and he was pushed by his bosses into engineering .They gave him a job for years until his work on the Cseries was done .By the end of his term at the bomber He was a team leader and the bomber actually secured him a job with a supplier at a higher wage . He has since climbed the corporate ladder and changed a few positions , he is close to retirement .This guy invested all his spare money/rrsp into the bomber and still today believes in the power of the family to make the bomber shine . He understands the talent and value the bomber has in the industry . Not all stories at the bomber are great but this is one with deep insight into the core values at the bomber .He used to tell stories about lavish parties with the slackers riding the govt gravy train for years , but he also pointed out that it all came to screeching halt. ..I rememeber him and his buddies laughing when there was talk about bankrutpcy , they knew how much backing the bomber really had , this stuff isn't on the balance sheet . The fact that he didn't throw his shares out the window was enough for me to also believe in the bomber ...So here we are , very close to end of the turnaround plan and even if the road was extrememly bumpy , the runway is clear ... there is big money in private jets and the bomber will gets a good chunk of that cash , hopefully they will make good on the promise to provide value for the shareholders ..I know we were at end of the priorities list but I believe we are next to get paid ...

Bombardier though is not one of them. Over the history of Bombardier. their products have been renowned worldwide.
They obviously made one crucial mistake in taking on the aerospace giants without any partnership from government and this hurt them big time.

They lose money, have sold off everything.... Train skidoos , sea-doo , dehavilland , Learjet etc..
This is a dead company that just doesn't know it yet, Quebec government will lobby for them and keep them alive for a few more years just for jobs
