Did we give away this flying, or was it forcefully taken away from us? As one posted suggested "we gave it away." I wonder if the truth will prevail. The flying wasn't given away, it was negotiated away. Who negotiated it away? Which MEC or MEC's will hold firm? one or all of them? Who controls the agenda of the MEC's big and small? The RJ manufacturing industry is not unlike Airbus. Free airplanes (or almost free). It's all incentivized. Flying to the lowest bidder. It's like Dire Straits..... Get your money for nothing and your chicks for free. At the end of the day nothings free. There's a cost. but hey, the institutional investor and the manager with stock options gets to be a winner!
