But Will Bombardier Respond To The G650?

But Will Bombardier Respond To The G650?Well, I composed a longer post questioning whether a bigger question might not be how Bombardier will respond to Gulfstream's G650 - a question I've asked before and one which one analyst put to BBD management in the conference call, but I clicked on edit to copy the thing and it disappeared - links and all.

So, I'll simply ask what the rest of you think.

Do you think Bombardier made the best strategic move going with these other developments rather than taking aim at its number one competitor in the larger business jet category?

Keep in mind that the G650 sells for $10 million more each than C Series, and it already has firm orders for 200 aircraft.

Here's a few of the linked articles I'd prepared - minus the headliners:
