Quarterly aircraft delivery Don't get too fixated on how many aircraft Bombardier puts out each month and if its more then last month or year for same time frame. Its not a linear deliverable. As long as Bombardier delivers what they said they will deliver then all is good. And all quarter are profitable (postive cash flow and net revenue). Dassault bizz jet division has much smaller back log and deliver much less aircraft but have postive cash flow.
Its about credibility and predictable/accuracy of Bombardier management team. If they quote a number and deliver that, then it shows that Bombardier management have handle on their business.
Dont get me wrong, Bombardier needs to deliver at a healthy rate but this industry delivers more at end of year then beginning. This is known but that shouldn't mean Bombardier can get away with lossing cash in first few months/quarter and making it later in the year.
