RE:"concocted"?
I still remember early on during the CSeries program Jr and Hatchy always saying orders were coming, discussions with airlines and sales were to happen any day. Today no longer a word on those discussions and orders. If they do get a 50 plane order excellent, but unfortunately the only person who ever had any credibility was Scott and he left some time ago.
I will believe when I see a signed contract not rumor or tweet. It is now past the so called weeks for the simple engine fix and no news out of when they will be back in the air either from Pratt or the Bomber.
