Well played bombardier Given the circumstances bombardier played its card well. Now Alstom must be scratching their head. Do the go ahead and put an off only to be rejected or give an offer that bombardier can't refuse. Bombardier has very healthy rail backlog. Agreed they are problem but now it can get the attention and resources to get solved. No talk about selling BA to Textron. Must have been a bait and switch. AB as mentioned in earlier post did decent offer.
