cni.... my eyes!!! That guy's writing "style" (if you can even call it that) is just downright painful...

He's clearly got some serious bias against BBD. The article is actually pretty easy to pick apart as his analysis has some gaping holes in it. I'm going to be a fat American and take my family to Cracker Barrel for dinner, though. Just getting things started with my drive by here, though.

Now all state aid, subsidies and dumping prices will be investigated by the WTO, the US Government, as Airbus and Embraer will take action against Canada’s government involvement and you can bet Boeing will urge the same from its government. The CSALP is a scam on Canadians to help Bombardier, the program will fail, but Bombardier will be in the clear and we naive and too trusting of our crony politicians get burned again and again by our Government in bed with Bombardier.

The CSeries is a state program, with state subsidies which allow dumping prices, and the CSeries will have many issues to face, including possible US retaliation with to protect Boeing for illegal Canadian state aid to Bombardier.

This fact might be the only saving grace:
The 100-150 seat market is only 1.5% of Airbus and Boeing’s single aisle A320neo and B737Max sales today, while 98.5% of their single aisle sales are in the 150-240 seat segment, that says it all for those with critical reasoning skills.
Probably some of the worst writing I have seen in a long time. No innovation? Really? Has he seen the 737 overhead panel or the A320's 1990-era flight deck?

Seems like your classic 'one hand not talking to the other' scenario going on in the CSeries program. Still no concrete information about routes, bases, delivery schedule, and nothing loaded into travel net or submitted to DOT.

I wonder... is DL working a deal with Boeing right now? Drop the order for the jet in return for....???

Wonder if the Chief LCP for CSeries was behind that? Oh well...transcon commutes are over-rated.
