If you think the Canadian government would allow the sale of Bombardier to a foreigner they'd be out of office right away.
IMO the C-Series is a joke of an aircraft. Horrible strategy by Bombardier, would've rather seen a CRJ upgrade. My best friend works for them in their technical sales department i asked him one question - "why not Embraer, and if i want range and capacity why not a 737/a320?" Couldn't give me a straight answer other than passenger comfort and was laughing at the fact that they're selling at break even. The plane is 20 million more than an Embraer, same passenger capacity just longer range. The numbers speak for themselves:
As of 2008, 1401 Embraer orders compared to 243 C-Series. These are firm orders no options incl. With the new engines on the new Embraer's (and im sure their next strategy will be to tackle range), good luck to Bombardier, maybe the TTC will but a few planes for the execs....
