Well, cutting through the corporate double-speak, it will be interesting to see if Bombardier can ever make a return on this aircraft.
The cumulative effect of delays, development overspends and lower than expected orders have created a vicious cycle so far... over $2Bn of new funding required in debt and equity alone, triggering a 70%+ drop in share price.
The upshot is that predators are already circling... the Chinese recently mooted an offer for the 'cash-cow' Rail Transportation division.
Many moons ago Pan Am sold off all their real estate holdings to prop up the failing airline. At the time, a few wise voices suggested they keep the real estate and sell the airline instead.
It may be heresy, but what's the betting the Chinese end up with the C-series instead???
We'll see.
