I have a feeling this will soon enough lead to some protectionist measures and new sanctions based on some suddenly discovered anti-competitive behavior.

- yardie 3y agoThey certainly did a wonderful hatchet job to Bombardier. Effectively forced them out of the market to the point they had to sell the entire line to Airbus as the A220.
- philistine 3y agoI'm still crying about this. Bombardier could have become a third large airframe producer. On the other hand, the Quebec government made the boneheaded decision to give incentives specifically to the C-Series. If they had given those incentives to the whole company, Boeing couldn't have complained.
- fmajid 3y agoThere's Embraer of Brazil and Comac of China.
- philistine 3y agoYeah but those companies aren’t able to make larger airframes. Boeing and Airbus are the only two companies making the truly big planes. Bombardier legitimately wanted to enter that market if the C-Series worked well.
