RE:Hmm some slimy words thereBacklog aircraft quantity is up. They sold more challengers then large jets thats why dollar value of Backlog is not proportionally high. But it is good that they sold more challengers then Global series jets as challenger has better margins due to its maturity. Challengers put in more cycles and flight time them long leg Global jets. In others words challenger needs more routine maintenance checks/inspection. So more money in aftermarket and thats where bombardier happens to be expanding into. This was already explained in some aviation articles.

"unit book to bill" which means they shipped some G7500s and sold a bunch of Challanger 350s. I hate BS words like this. Its possible the backlog is SMALLER but we have no way to tell because they are using smoke and mirrors.
