Are you suggesting BBD don't have other products and services that contribute to their cash flow as well?
I'm suggesting that BBD's other products do not contribute enough to the cash flow.

BBD lost the battle against Embraer during the last 3 years. The sales of the E-Series overtook the CRJ sales. Embraer also launched the next generation E2
Series with significant sales numbers. BBd'snew CEO recognized that BBD has to invest some R&D time and a certain amount of money into the CRJ Series. Most of the R&D work for the C-Series is done, so hopefully BDD will start soon on the CRJ series.

On the BizzJet side, they lost the market for the long range Jets to Gulfstream. I'm not that confidant, that BBD will be in track with the Global 7000/8000 development. Another delay on those Aircrafts might be possible.
