Move to new airport facility 2023
Retired from the Global Program now but the Toronto facility was heavy on overhead. The size of the location's footprint and cost of upkeep for the runway was significant. The new facility is designed to increase production and will elminate high overhead using Pearson runways..
2023 will be an interesting year for the Global Progam.

I heard that they're NOT going to Pearson till the begining of 2024 from EM in the Q3/22 ER, which I was shocked to hear. I thought they were going in in Q1/23. That's 1 year behind. I'm just impressed that they're even getting 120 out the door this year. If they'll increase production to 140 in 2023 without Pearson. I'm going to be really impressed.

The bottle neck for production in Downsview is there is only one set of wing jigs and that limits the number of people they can throw at it. I believe they will have another wing jig for the Pearson facility. I've been on the outside for five years but I thought that was the original plan.
