Liberal Party wins, Bombardier wins

[Willie Everlearn]

I did some research to back up my claim of 50%.

I looked at some comparisons. This is what I found.
The cost per Aircraft Mile for a 500 NM mission.
Bear in mind, the CS100's direct competition is the A318 and 737-700 (which are both out of production)

The CS100 is reported to be $7.00 ASM = $3500.00
The A318 is reported to be $8.60 ASM = $4300.00
The B737-700 is reported to be $9.25 ASM = $4625.00

Another source generated this:

Compared to the average Turbofan-powered Narrow-body Commercial Passenger Plane, which costs $14.22* per nautical mile and 14.45¢* per seat per nautical mile to operate, the Bombardier CS100 is:

$7.17 cheaper per nautical mile (a 50% margin)
7.92¢ cheaper per seat per nautical mile (a 55% margin)
Compared to the average fuel costs for all Commercial aircraft, which are $15.32* per nautical mile and 13.38¢* per seat per nautical mile, the Bombardier CS100 costs:

$8.27 less per nautical mile (a 54% margin)
6.85¢ less per seat per nautical mile (a 51% margin)
*Assumes a $6 cost per gallon of jet fuel
1 Nautical Mile = 1.15 Miles

You can make of it what you will but I can find no similar reference figures for either the A318neo (if there are any) or the 737-700Max (if there are any).
Simply stated, C series wins.
