Boeing doing the 737-7MAX just put another nail in the coffin for the C-Series.

Bombardiers saving grace is the Q400 and the corporate portfolio...

Actually tha article or another puts ATR backlog at 250 for the -600 series, the Q400 is sitting at 40. Bombardier is having problems selling the planes and the Q400 is pretty darn expensive. Probably does well for CAL because of scope issues but I doubt it's their first choice.
