RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Hmm some slimy words thereActually its common to report using book to bill ratio. Gulfstream also reported 1.8 to 1 book to bill ratio and they didn't break it down by model. This is done for competitive reason but at the same time it gives investors an idea of Backlog status and future work. Owning a stock of a company doesn't mean the company will show you all their cards. Bombardier and its competitors look at each others order books/backlog/ production rates/Financial statements/ employees head count etc. to learn everything about their competition. A lot of posters here forget that Bombardier needs to safe guard its trade secrets. Its a balancing act between what you tell your investors to give them as much information but not too much that your competitors can deduce your profits, product mix, leadtime etc.

if you go to the investor section of bomardier.com and download the powerpoint presentation from this morning's Q2 presentation, the backlog in USD is reported on the page labelled "Financial Performance"
as of June 30, 2021 $10.7 bilion
as of December 31, 2020 $10.7 billion
so, unchanged over six months
