Very sorry for all those who signed up, wether they were employees, crew, customers, or all the suppliers along the way. A lot of people did a lot of work to get it this far. It's just that no one is sure exactly how far they actually got, and whether it was realistic to launch the week Leiman Brothers went under. Just hope it is an orderly shutdown and everyone gets paid what's owed.
Makes some/all of their press statements look like cloud cuckoo-land in hindsight. A quick glance back through the Pprune archives would make you feel there were queues oustide their office every morning.
Did Bombardier ever think it would really happen, or were they so keen to sell the 60's, that even they believed it?
