RE:RE:RE:No order for the new challenger 3500 ?????The publicity was to put other OEM in defensive position and to show customers who passed on 350 and were negotiations to buy from Embraer, Cessna, and Dassault to revisit the new challenger 3500. Cessna and Embraer they just refreshed their product so they will have to do something to respond to 3500. Either way it will cost them and will take them time. Dassault is cash strap on 6X and 10X development so they won't be to eager to spent on refresh on 2000EX/LX etc. I think all current customers whos 350 hasn't been build will have option to upgrade. Also the bizz jet industry is very private so dont expect order announcements like the commercial aviation side. Challenger 3500 is aligning with higher end global jet interior so this is truly creating a family of jets with same pedigree. Unlike the mix and match product line with learjet, CRJ and C series. They are created a brand. A brand that is well received in bizz aviation circles.
