Republic can't take their's? Interesting.
I wonder why not? Never mind the Frontier explanation, I know about that.
If they can't, won't, or don't take them, they could have cancelled their order 3 years ago. They didn't. Cancelling now will be expensive.
They could have cancelled 2 years ago. They didn't.
They could have a year ago. Didn't happen.
6 months ago. Nope.
Now that it's certified they have to hand over their first in$tallment, if they haven't already. Still a lot of money (for nothing?)
I'm thinking they'll sell or lease them but I'd be surprised if they didn't take them. In any event, CSeries is not a scope issue as it is not a regional jet.
The 650 (605) is the NextGen Challenger. No need to get rid of it. B737 NG follows a similar rationale for its existence. If it ain't broke, upgrade the engines and avionics.
GX 7 and 8 thousand a little late but awesome. Gulf Stream will undoubtedly sell as neither version of the GX is being delivered at present but I doubt BBD won't catch up to them.
I don't see them keeping Lear. It doesn't fit into the BBD product line.
