How do we know Embraer is not going to go under? I realize it is state supported and will not be allowed to go bankrupt inthe commercial sense, but launch of a new aircraft by a relatively small manufacturer is risky and they could find themselves where Fokker and others ended up where absent a government bailout they would be belly up.

As we know government bailouts have their prices also, and not in immediate cash.


ACA is doing quite well with the Jetstreams, all it needs is UA to stay in business to have someone to feed.
