Will CSeries Crack the Duopoly Part IIPart II of the article is whether Bombardier could compete against Boeing and Airbus with the CS500 right now. Sadly, Bhaskara is most certainly correct that they simply don't have the financial resources for a head-to-head battle right now. Boeing would clearly outlast Bombardier who'd run out of cash, losing money on every CS500 they'd sell.
I agree, the time isn't right. For now, they've got the 100-150 seat market to themselves, they can build their cash reserves for a few years and then return to that fight another day.
Can Bombardier CSeries Crack the Boeing Airbus Duopoly?
