Airbus has airframes sitting around for PW's but don't have the engines that work.
The airframe engine mounts won't work with the the Leap engines so, until they work out the PW problems the airframes will be we sitting around.

I thought the C Series engines were from the same engine family as the 320neo. Are the few C series that have gone out having engine issues?

They are but different sub variant.

My checking account hasn't been cost neutral since the ratification nor has my 401k or sick balance. I am making far more money, with far more retirement, and with far more sick pay.

But does it have a tray table?

It actually does have a tray table and you can eat off of it. I have seen plenty of pics showing the SWISS pilots using the tray table on their CS100s and 300s. This cockpit would be A LOT more comfortable than any Embraer E2 or Boeing 737 cockpit (sidesticks help) - not that it matters in the slightest to the bean counters.

Why isn’t wall street questioning the “leadership”? Bobby two scoops didn’t know we wanted to continue growing? Why not order airplanes years ago?

Or is this press really planned to get RFP’s on the other jets and then go back to Airbus?

It all seems too planned out, some EVP in Seattle giving a quote to someone about 737’s and some other guy talking about C Series and EMB’s...I think they are trying to play Airbus.

Very possible. Of course, now Airbus and Bombardier are linked through the CSeries program (Airbus acquired 51% of it). Maybe we’ll see a joint offer of both Airbus and CSeries airframes as part of a package deal... You never know.

Well, Yuri does have a large yellow C-Series model on prominent display in his office. What more proof do you need. It's not like he's some troll who get his jollies by playing mind games with the employees beneath him, right?
