It appears that Bombardier took some other financial aspects in consideration before they made that decision. I have no further knowledge, and that would be more than I'm willing to research for this discussion. Besides, this is tangential to the Embraer x Bombardier debate.

Indeed, but there's some overlap between the largest E2 and the smallest C-Series, while the E2 is much cheaper.
- bobthepanda 3y agoMultiple parts of Bombardier were failing at the time, particularly its trains division which was fire sold to Alstom.
- sofixa 3y agoBombardier's trains division wasn't failing, it was just that Bombardier the company was overleveradged on getting the C-Series out. What that failed, they were massively in debt, and had to do a fire sale on everything of value (CRJ, trains division).
