Thanks for the rebuttal. I appreciate your taking the time to engage as you do provide some interesting commentary. BTW, we hear in Montreal this morning courtesy of the CBC that BBD are now in discussions with Embraer regarding CSeries, so it sounds like confirmation the company is making the rounds seeking a financial partner.

I have to say, I think that's a better response to a crisis than cancelling the program this close to certification before trying at least to find additional investors.

I believe the aeroplane will fly and it will find a home with legacy carriers who still need to develop markets with 110-130 pax aircraft. This fact alone will impact regional airlines in that I think they will shrink further and/or disappear.

Let's see how this all plays out.

I, for one, sure as hell don't know but it's going to be fun to watch.

P.S. BBD killed the 415 at the same time they delayed the LR85 due to very weak sales, and that was a good thing. Now, if they could only dump Lear.
