Did the same except in a 25 year old 757 and inbound from a "second-tier" airport!

Maybe the Seattle types are just ****ed at bombardier. Had they not launched the RJ fad, and the ever larger version of same, maybe Boeing could have sold a butt load of 737-600??

That's one point of view I haven't considered.
I still like my line of thinking in that Boeing did this to drive the value of Bombardier down so that they can acquire them. It kind of makes sense considering Boeing just targeted Bombardier for receiving government subsidies and not Airbus as well.

Should Canada have been more discreet about subsidizing Bombardier? - Politics - CBC News

Some good info here about how subsidized Boeing is. Hypocrites.

If the tariff holds, the only play here for bombardier is to sell the c series to Boeing or abandon the US market.

I hope this does not start a trade war. As everyone knows, the primary export from Canadia to the US is winter weather. From where will we get our sub zero temps and lake effect snow if trade breaks down.

If anyone needs me, I will be over here wringing my hands.
