Did all the projects in 80's and 90'sThis was my old comp[any. They basically kidded me out in April 2000 because 1) I didn't speck french and 2) they were out of cash for new airplanes. I did the business plans for the regional jets 50, 70, 90, and at the time C-series aircraft. I also did the Dash 8-400, Lear 60. Lear 45, Global Express, and a couple more reditions of various aircraft.
The C-series aircraft was red flagged at the beginning for beginning a brand new airplane....airframe and engine. This for those who don't know is never done. You develop a new airframe with and existing engine or vis versa. At that time their non-recurring inventory for developing aircraft was $3 Billion. They were spent by 2000. They needed to produce and get their inventory down. They didn't. The stock peaked at about $42/share in May/June 2000 and has been in a tail-side for 16 years. Now, a whole new generetion is there and haven't got the slightest idea of what needs to happen. This company is screwed! They can't compete now with 9-10 Billion in debt. Can anyone say "Life-Support". By the way, I was involved in getting this company through 5 or 6 stock splits during the 80's and 90's and getting their sales from $250M to $7.5 B. (about 30x). Message to L.Beaduion ...guess who I am. This company is Canada's greatest embarrassment. Bunch of egotisical D*ck-Heads. Get the F**k out of this company, it's going done.
Cheers to Ron B., Robert W., John H., et all if you're still alive.
