Remoak,
t*sh, still t*sh and nothing but t*sh...
I happen to be an ex employee with a very successful aircraft manufacturer...so I'm no new kind on the block with regards to price list vs deal landed, as well as Entry Into Service troubles...
I also happen to be current on the Q400, thank you very much.
What about all the design flaws uncovered on the 73 along its long career...what about the missing rivets on the tail skin, faulty rudder servo controls...The number of ADs issued by Bombardier on the Q400 is nowhere near BCA score on the 73.
