"Boeing discounted the 737 MAX by more than 70% to force Bombardier to sell the C-Series below cost, which forced Bombardier to sell a controlling share to Airbus for $0."
I don't know any better, but I thought - statements by the companies to the contrary aside - that https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CSeries_dumping_petition_by_Boeing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CSeries_dumping_petition_by_Bo... is what drove the Airbus partnership.
- PaulHoule 7y agoYes, that's part of the causal chain. Boeing forced Bombardier to sell below cost, and then filed a petition to accuse Bombardier of "dumping".
- robocat 7y agoThere doesn't seem to be any links to that on Wikipedia. The only text I can find is: "After it had to cut its price by 70% to beat the CSeries for United Airlines in 2016, Boeing decided to act when the CSeries was offered to Delta at $10 million below its production cost". Perhaps the Wikipedia page is being edited by Boeing?
