The question is going to be how will Boeing react to an RJ maker who intrudes on their market. The C-series has not been officially launched yet, so there has been no reaction from Boeing, but I'm sure they have a plan.

Bombardier might get squashed like a bug. But I have to admit they are playing it very smart by emphasizing high-tech features...they might succeed by beating the next-gen Boeing/Airbus narrowbodies to market.
