In any relationship/negotiation (yes, even a marriage is an ongoing negotiation) one must put themselves in the shoes of those they are negotiating with. What is the other persons "personal win?" It always comes down to this. DLs Personal win is scope. If left unfettered, it would mean the CSeries would start being outsourced. There is a ton of money (private equity and other) sitting on the sidelines ready to be deployed (ala Virg Am, JBLu, republic, skywest, et al).
As the old adage goes, "Think of your children."
