RE:What Bombardier needs to demonstrate to the shareholderscseriesaddick wrote: 1- That it will be able to deliver the Cseries to its clients in due time (the problem being that Bombardier has not a lot of control on this situation, which is directly related to Pratt & Whitney' delays);
2- That it will be able to get new orders for the Cseries, at a sustainable price (this has yet to be demonstrated and in this regard, the Pratt & Whitney issue doesn't help at all. However, the massive layoffs of yesterday will certainly help Bombardier to be more competitive in the future);
3- That any federal investment is not made at the expense of the shareholders (The feds still want to invest directly in Bombardier instead of the limited partnership created for the Cseries. It could mean substantial dilution for the shareholders. A fight for the control of the company seems to be the reason for this).
What Bombardier needs is to stop sucking off the government teat and to learn to manage a more effective company.
