Leahy's come a long way since his Piper Aircraft days, for sure, but he's still just an American trash talker out to make a few bucks like a used car salesman. He's elevated Airbus sales to new highs, for sure. But darker days could lie ahead if the supply chain chokes or even hiccups.
Admit it or not, Bombardier's not just a pain in the ass to both A and B, but they've at least given Airbus a bloody nose.
When buyers begin to understand where the industry B.S. is coming from, they'll start to look at the truth and the truth is, the C series is in many cases, the better aircraft. The airlines will decide what they need, not some used car salesman, like Leahy. If it's the C series, they'll buy it for the best possible price.
What's new about that?
