RE:Bombardier tells Mitsubishi no cherry-picking in jetstalksMitsubishi has painted themselves into a corner after this negotiation have been made public. They will end up buying the CRJ program and FAL. Now the potential customers of MRJ / space jet know that Mitsubishi does not have the customer support infrastructure/ services / MRO that are required once the plane is in revenue service. RJ operatior need quick and nearby service centres, parts distribution system to keep AOG short. Unlike bigger jet operators, RJ airlines can’t afford to loose time waiting in queue or fly their jets far out for maintenance work. Advantage bbd. Bbd still has option to close the FAL and rely on aftermarket to bring in money as long as CRJ’s are flying. Mitsubishi will have to spend much more to get their network going and then the have to deal with lack of experience.
