Honestly, in all seriousness, if they do not announce C-series by the opening of the CBA vote, (maybe as late as before the end of the vote) they are NOT coming.
I just talked to a guy today who was told by those "in the know" that the decision has not yet been made, and that they know they need to make a decision "within the next couple of months".
I don't put a lot of trust in this info from him, but if it is at all true, the announcement would be after the vote and if that's the case, I'd bet $500 it's the E2.
If they haven't announced by voting time, it's the E2 kids.
First, chill out dude. Last time I checked this was a pilot forum - hence the question to us pilots. I was just suggesting that maybe JB was not “entirely stagnant” given some big initiatives and, right or wrong, some contract movement. Stagnant implies zero change. I hope we see big changes including hub expansion and a new fleet.
IMO, the CSeries is a much better and more versatile option for achieving profitable growth in a highly competitive industry than the revamped and re-winged E190 but I have zero say in the matter...... Everyone has an opinion and can speculate about what might happen and I was merely asking for an update and suggesting that we are seeing some change (not stagnant) - hopefully for the better.
