Regardless, the CSeries is up and running and both SWISS and AirBaltic are happy customers with Korean taking delivery of their first CS300 shortly.

On buying C Series:
I can't stress enough that when we began looking at our single-aisle replacement growth strategy in 2015 our focus was on reducing our 50-seat regions jets by up gauging to small gauge mainline aircraft. One of the highest priorities at the time was to find a small gauge aircraft, one with capacity definitely under 120 seats that met our mission profiles, including average route distances of under 1,000 nautical miles, not the 2900 nautical miles that have been defined today.
.....
In fact, our agreement is structured with maximum takeoff weight provisions that reflect our intended deployment plan to fly the aircraft, on average, on routes that are less than 1000 miles. If we exceed those averages, i.e., the plane needs to carry more fuel because it's flying longer distances, we're going to be required to pay Bombardier additional payments.

I spent some time in the fixed base trainer today... that thing is AWESOME! It straight up looks like Boeing and Airbus got together and mixed the best of both of their worlds. Bravo, Bombardier.
