175-E2 is dead? Embraer just started the first 175-E2 assembly literally this week!
The launch customer bailed. The 175-E2, well, the entire E2 line is already outdated. It does not even have composite wings....Who are they producing these 175-E2's for? They have space and money to build aircraft with no buyers?
The only hope is that some of the 175 backlog converts, then again, there are less than 200 of those...
Airbus moved quickly and acquired the C-Series Ltd. as soon as they had a chance, while Boeing first rejected Bombardier's offer to cooperate on C-series, and was then caught napping when the aircraft market "suddenly" shifted from under them
Exactly. Boeing handed the C Series to Airbus. Again, due to poor decisions and lack of forward thinking, Boeing is once again, forced to react to an Airbus decision.
Like the A320neo forced the MAX, and the A321XLR is going to force, well, nothing...they lost that market.
As noted before, the ENTIRE line for Embraer made $400 million, not just the part Boeing purchased. The bulk of the sales were in the part of the commercial business that Boeing did NOT purchase.
Question for you future, in the US, are the airlines replacing the E series with E2's, or A220 series?
No one wants the 190E2, and the 195E2 is no where near the ac the 220 is...(Where are the 190/195 E2 sales?)
