Embraer should have bought the C series, it’s already designed to scale up to a -500 variant.
Bombardier should have launched the -500 first.
They would have to spend a fortune to sell what it already does. Airbus only has to put it into production when the time is right. They also should have bought the CRJ support, I think Mitsubishi is lost with that.
