RE:A220-500 ? Airbus has to get 100% of the A220 program at 1stNice story bbd but i personnaly think that ALL of the CS series was included in the oroginal deal -those professional lawyers on both sides have seen and taking care during 6 months before closing of ALL aspects of the problem nobody has left any unturn stones -and that we should just simply forget about the whole deal ...not sure either if JV will ever make enough interesting money in the next few years and Airbus already a big slow moving company has all the interest of the world to slow down everyting until the final buyout of the 49% and personnaly that is only there and at that time that we will recoup a PART of our initial invesment in CS ...but it should be a good amount of money to be apply hopefully against the huge debt of the company ...the light at the end of the tunnel is only there ....
This being said the future of Bomber is in the train -transportation- , business planes , PLUS aerostructures division ...we should focus on only that and stop dreaming about something that is simply dead for Bomber the CS series -100 , 300 , 500 and even 700 .Our future is NOT there any more -sad but truth- SD
