BF said a few months ago they wanted to get into the smaller markets. I also think our new DTW chief pilot was brought here to write the C Series program. That's what his back ground was in Eagle, he helped bring the CRJ on board for them. I'm guessing our TA will come the same week these planes are announced, the order will be contingent upon the TA passing.
