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?

Makes complete sense. The CS300 has a lower CASM than both the A319 and the A320 (legacy versions) and it can accommodate up to 150-160 seats. With Airbus buying 51% of the CSeries program from Bombardier, I imagine we’ll see some joint offer at some point...
Again, for those unfamiliar with the CSeries:
airbalticcs300
With up to 160 seats in a single-class layout, this ain’t a stretched CRJ...

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.

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?
