Building plans will soon be history for the components of the Dash 8/400. So..... What's left? Just final assembly.......very order dependent. Hardly profitable with a low build rate cycle. How are they able to keep almost 4000 people employeed? I'd say a plant that size can't sustain without other manufacturing sub components being built. Cost and capacity don't dictate efficiency. Capability is marginal at best.
....... Other than development of the extended stretched version of the Global Express 7000/8000, couple with the remaining Global sales and the Series 400 turbo. This place is on life support as I see it and now the only thing they have left are these large series of empty hangers with virtually nothing inside them. Except over paid idiots pretending to work. Hahaha.....wait those are Union Rep's sharing a coffee with there buddies in Management.
Remember the Lear wing, gone. So remember the series 400 Coxpit, and the wing........who needs them right......Well it just shows there's no sense when you're being directed by these same morons passing them selfs off as protectors of the working man.
Im betting the next notice in the not to distant future is Plant closure. The next sale will be the land the place sits on. No need to panick......fresh green backs for Montreal when they pull the plug. Maybe a nice bost to the bottom line. Help bail out the debt, well played in my opinion saw it coming.
Buy more shares the equity alone in the land value more than out strips the need to keep this white elephant alive.
BTW.....The Rep's all have there buyout packages in place so no worries.
clearly your opinion doesn't matter to anyone here.
