I need to do some more digging on this, but the Mobile assembly line is owned by Airbus Group, Inc, which is an American company headquartered in Virginia. I believe the 50.01% ownership of the C Series program that Airbus acquired will fall under Airbus Group, Inc. That would make the C Series over 50% made in the US, over 50% owned in the US, and assembled in the US. It probably won't be considered an imported product and could skirt the tariffs if they are upheld.

[QUOTE=Denny Crane;2450828]Well, the whole deal kinda puts Delta between a rock and a hard place. Do they put out an AE now and then have to possibly wait close to 2 years for delivery or do they wait for a final ruling from the US ITC early next year? My WAG is that the AE for the CS keeps slipping....
Denny[/QUOTE). If the wait for the C series is indeed two years what are we going to do regarding additional aircraft during the wait?

Your unadulterated praise for everything CSeries makes you come across as a human embodiment of a corporate advertisement campaign. I don't know, maybe just once try responding with a joke instead of a link to a video about how awesome the newest version of a flying tube with seats is.
