Some interesting points posted above.
Boeing stock down 17% over the year despite impressive sales figures.
Airbus stock down 13% over the year despite impressive sales figures.
Regional Airlines (in the U.S.) are being reduced by their mainline partners.
Legacy carriers are starting to adjust regional flying and some have included the CS100/300 in mainline pilot union contracts. (Which has to mean something.)
MRJ is out of scope, three years late and are likely to run into a similar sales drought as Bombardier.
Bombardier has been quietly exiting the RJ market leaving much of it to Embraer and others.
Neo is having engine problems.
Oil prices are not likely to rise for some time to come.
Pilot shortages are becoming the reality many continue to disbelieve.
The airline industry and the way they conduct business is changing dramatically. Which is why that future industry will include C series.
To declare Bombardier's C series a loser based on the status quo is simply idiotic because sales will come as the industry deals with and readjusts to the many and varied realities of today.
