I don't believe their CSeries is considered a "regional jet" any more than Westjet's B737-600 or Air Canada's A319s are.
Whether or not WJ and AC decide to play or not play, the economics of the new Bombardier jet are going to be tougher to compete with using heavier and older tin. Unless WJ and AC buy the CSeries to compete with Porter. Who knows?
Lots of battles to win before the CS100 takes off from Billy Bishop.
Bobbing boats have a tendancy to be there then NOT be there. So it might be premature to suggest they constitute an obstacle clearance hazard for the new jet. Then there's the probability of having an engine failure over a close in mast on the inaccurate departure path on the same day at the same time to the power of 10....
Maybe leave the boats moored where they are?
We'll see when we get some performance numbers what affect they have. You may be right though.
