The Airbus + Bombardier C-series deal was confirmed in in October 2017. In September 2017 Boeing filed a suit against Bombardier, claiming that they were selling their C-series jets to Delta at illegally low prices (less than cost of production). Seems like interesting timing for the deal, although doubtless it's good strategically anyway.

Why is it illegal to sell below the cost of production?

  I'm not well versed in all of this, I suspect it comes down to Bombardier being able to do this due to (allegedly illegal) government subsidies rather than being about the specific act itself. http://fortune.com/2017/04/28/boeing-bombadier-anti-dumping-probe/ http://fortune.com/2017/04/28/boeing-bombadier-anti-dumping-...

    Why did this get downvoted?

      It didn't; the confusion is because HN shows visited links with a similar grey to down-voted comments. (They should fix that.)

        Oh haha yes gets me all the time! I was a bit outraged there. Thanks for the link.
