The decision came after Boeing lodged a formal complaint accusing the Canadian manufacturer of dumping. In its petition, Boeing contends that Bombardier sold seventy-five CS100 jets to US carrier Delta Air Lines (DL, Atlanta Hartsfield Jackson) for USD19.6 million per aircraft, far below their USD33.2 million manufacturing cost, and that the C Series could never have existed without subsidies from the governments of Canada, Quebec and the United Kingdom.
If true, that's kinda BS. Selling something under cost just to secure an order (and lets face it, without DL's order the C Series was in trouble) is wrong from a competitive standpoint. I can see why Boeing would would do this. And that's not to say Boeing doesn't make shady deals but this Bombardier deal is just embarrassing.
