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.

Again, for those unfamiliar with the CSeries:
airbalticcs300
With up to 160 seats in a single-class layout, this ain’t a stretched CRJ...

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.
