And once again the point is, not enough sales. Again everyone defending the C-Series is missing the facts. Since inception this airplane has not sold, every airplane they do sell will be like a Christmas gift. I agree that they shouldn't cancel now, and they have looked into partnerships and now to save face, im sure they will push the federal government to allow the sell of majority of their stake to a foreigner who can increase cash flow for the next airplane development (very unlikely as after this election the sale to foreigners is going to be very tough). Its a sad reality but i wish they introduced this airplane 10 years ago.......:

While Bombardier was crying about domestic subsidies, Embraer created one of the best 75-90 seat airplanes and a suitable replacement to operators who didnt want the 737/a320. Not to mention the RJ's which took many CRJ sales as well. Facts and history speak for themselves, maybe a new vision is in order.
