Just a line guy making a guess; C Series and 737s soon after the board meeting.

Sure sounds like the deal we were only going to get if we signed for the TA....only more airplanes in this one!

How do these compare size wise? I mean, pay wise to what they are replacing?

Maybe we'll get both - win-win. GOL will be selling some soon.

Sounds like the Canadair side is leaking to the press. That has burned manufacturers before. I wouldn't be surprised if the 88 upgrades go far enough to add life and we get used XXXs. DC9 was supposed to retire in the 90s.

Just sayin' ...Delta is buying aircraft for several carriers now.

Seats on the CS300? Does it come in the multi-tiered config we like or would there be seating mods? I agree on the leaks. Leaks can kill a deal.

The Cseries is about 108(CS100) to 160 seats on the proposed CS500 in dual class. I don't see Delta buying any CS100's, my guess would be 75 CS300's with options for 50 CS500 when they become available, and some 737s. That would replace the MD's. From last time I was in Montreal, the C-Series looked to be about the easiest airplane to fly ever.

I predict that when this deal is done Delta will have an ownership stake in Bombardier. We invest in airlines, refineries, why not an aircraft manufacturer?

Ray may be on to something......

How can we be buying new airplanes? We haven't agreed to any concessions lately.

BobZ 04-15-2016 05:59 PM
they just did turn down an 'investment' from the government.....imagine getting a piece of every airframe delivered? sounds like a RA deal.
