RE:And don't forget...China did make a train offer and AirBus did look at the C-Series , ( nice little plane ) . Most of the rumours are based in fact but they take months to play out . When things were completely false and normally started by a reporter with the facts screwed up , Bombardier was quick to correct them . There are so many management people at Bombardier that it is impossible to keep a secret . I think the sale of Lear will happen but these things take time . If there is more than one interested party then we will probably get more information . I`m not sure what relationship Faust has with Bombardier but he usually stokes the rumours . There was a big rumour at Farnborough that was false reporting that was disclaimed by Bombardier . There are so many I can`t remember what it was off the cuff . Maybe later.
