Also, I’ve heard we are pressing Bombardier to change the entire C Series order to the 300.

First Airbus did not buy Bombardier, they bought 50.01% of the C Series.
Second, pressing the order to 300... at what price? The same 1/3 the cost to manufacture that brought on the tariffs in the first place?
