RJ-X or BRJ-X? RJ-X was the initial code for the RJ-700 & the 700/900 line's going strong (no losses in orders with some airlines actually accelerating orders). BRJ-X was the code for the "100 seater".

Ye Gods Why? Would have thought they were more like to do a Fairchild & wait for the mob at Oberpfaffenhoffen to self destruct(again)and pick up a modern airframe. Unless, of course, they get all of Woodford for the same price as Shorts?

Business logic: Buy up the competition and either close it or convert it to a profit-center for yourself.
It could be that Bombardier wants to do one or the other... Boeing bought deHavilland for its design technology, and Bombardier may be doing the reverse: place some enhancements on the Woodford product that make it another world-beater. Same Type Licence, new variant = another chunk of the market.
Any other (logical) thoughts floating around?
