mutt, it seems your comments about BBD are completely contradictory to my comments;
I said:
"The problem Bombardier faces are:
1) their aircraft are more expensive
2) they are unwilling to negotiate delivery slots.
3) Embraer economics are better than Bombardiar. The former have developed the ERJ-145 XR specifically for "hot and high" conditions (like in ME)"
You said:
"BBD were extremely serious about ME sales, they were offering some impressive discounts, excellent delivery schedules and even went as far as to re-engine the CRJ700 to compete in the ME market."
