Amazing how times have changedI remember when Bombardier was offered about 10 billion for the BT division and Pierre Beaudoin turned it down -
Today the company is strapped with debt and are looking at ways to bring down the debt-
there are talks about selling the BT divison -combining their business with others -and etc etc-
Alstom and The Bomber are already doing work together on a number of projects-
take a look at the Azur trains in Montreal and you will see both names on the trains -
lets get a deal done that satisfies all -
A show of a better balance sheet will definitely help -
On the aviation side the J/V with Airbus is still in ts infancy
usually businesses show a lost in the early years which is the case here-
however,i believe there is a future here-with all the problems with Boeing and now showing that Airbus did more deliveries what an ideal time to push ahead
Have the Quebec government give incentives to Airbus whatever it takes to keep the jobs here and get the model 500 in production -
Lets do it
