RE: RE: New $95 Transportation contract

"How likely is it that the bomber could be bought out?'"

I'm not that familiar with the share structure, but I think most of the class A voting stock is tightly held by the family. So any kind of takeover would have to be a friendly one. Buying up the B shares would not give you control.

I've always been thinking that it would be great if Bombardier divested itself of the aerospace portion of the business... especially, since I don't see that sector as a growth sector over the next twenty years. We will be switching from ftraveling by plane to traveling by rail, as we get more and more "green".
