Wall Street seems to think they don't have the capital to get it through certification and produced.
A shame, because it seems like a decent airplane.
It, and the Mitsubishi MRJ, seem to be a day late and dollar short.
Don't know enough about the Sukhoi Superjet to know of reliability, efficiency, or maintainability.

With a cash infusion for a big order at great prices, the C series could be a reality. Especially when others are hesitant to buy. Anybody have a list of who has them on order?
The E series has always been comfortable in the back, I've only sat on the jumpseat a couple times but any time I talk to someone who flies/flew them they have good things to say.
But honestly I hope the Fokker comes to fruition, just so I can say "I've got the Fokker in sight" every chance I get!

I'd suspect this is the reason behind their recent sales push....they need some LARGE orders RIGHT NOW to secure funding to save the program and perhaps even the entire company.

Looks like republic has 40 on order with 40 options for the CS300 with 2016 as an estimated in service date (doubtful).
But these were ordered in 2010, so I wonder what happened to them with the Frontier purchase, Frontier sale, and current financial woes...which may be all the more reason we might see them on property. Could be Republic came to United, asked for help on their current CBAs, they have orders looming which they won't be able to fly the aircraft under any of their current CBAs due to scope choke.
