RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Just speculatingi agree with what you said
one coment i have regarding " PB developing the the CSeries for $6B"
fair = fair , why the C series costed 6B$
he C serries was supposed to start delivering much earlier than 2018
there was about 3 years delays on the c series
first delay was caused by Pratt&Whitney engin catching fire on first test in 2013
P&W took over one year to solve the problem for engines used by the C seies !!!!!!
NOTE SAME ENGIN IS USED BY AIRBUS, NO ONE PROBLEM WITH AIRBUS!!!!!
THEN IN 2015 + 2016 P&W started to deliver engines to bbd, only one engine or two every couple of month, while there was no delay on delivering to Airbus !!!!!!!
then when bbd started deliveringin 2018 and after they got slapped with 300% tax requested by boieng.......anther delays in delivering etc
it was not the family who created all those delays
because of delys bbd had to borrow more money that bring cost to 6B
the family had the guts to go for clen sheet design, introduced best single isle jet and was confronted with so many obstacles
imo, boieng, airbus, P&W, Quebec, Canadian gov. all conspired to take away the c series from bbd hand
fair = fair
