I had bad feelings about Bombardiers fluidity on this program, but am glad that Airbus is now in control. The aircraft itself is second to none in its class, a game changer and a feat of engineering that all of Canada can be proud. And potential buyers relieved.

I expect that with Airbus’s backing orders will start flow and Bombardier will be much further ahead than what was the status quo. Both the Quebec and Alabama plants will be running at full tilt once the silly tariff issue is tossed/ bypassed. Win win.

 My earlier expectation was that they would sell out to China, so I am happy.
