RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:My take on upcoming Q results Easy to say that now. At that time PB was countering MRJ and E jet as CRJ was old design and boxed in. No one expected neo and MAX to happen, aeropsace analysts were also taken back by re-engine move. Industry was expecting all new design narrow body from Boeing and Airbus to counter with 320 replacement. PB cant be blamed for C series, in fact he had in so many interviews mentioned that.

One thing I'm sure of: the debt and the interst thereon is the problem - just not profitable enough to quickly overcome this. If 10 years ago they had said no more debt and had either raised equity or started selling divisions to pay down the debt and fund their new ventures, Bombardier would be a totally different story.

It would not change fundamentally the book value of the company but may very well put the company in a better light.\
Raising funds with the present share value and float would leave IMO most institutions queezy about getting involved.
Just my thinking..
Of course may put a damper on the chronic shorting presently occuring.
