Whatever the margin notes are (CEO, bonuses, etc), it looks like an unprecedentedly obtuse move on their side. Killing a goose two days before it starts laying golden eggs. That's exactly what happened to Airbus, only France and Germany persevered and now they have a successful aircraft manufacturer.
No doubt the management made a lot of mistakes, however, America, at Boeings request, implemented a 292% tariff on the C-Series.
That killed the project and forced the sale of the now Airbus 220.
Few products can survive a 292% tariff. 😏
