Quite a bit, although some of the statements were a bit grammatically ambiguous as far as what he's actually trying to say.

Is he saying that he thinks bombardier is intentionally delaying deliveries until Airbus is in charge or not?

Definitely seems like an insider. As to the financial gamesmanship that's over my head.

I heard that we were absolutely elated when SW bought AT. AT was here anyway, and was a true ULCC at the time. SW rolls in with 130 seat pilots making more than our whale/777 pay and became a far more rational competitor. The results since then speak for themselves.

SWA in ATL has been one of the best things to ever happen to DL.

Boom. There it is... SLC C Series. 1200 mile average stage length too... that's not a regional jet operation.

Does the 1,200 average stage length indicate mostly JFK departures out of NYC?

I don't think so, LGA has lots of runway, 7,169 long. We have flown the 767-400 out of LGA.

Also, here's what Bombardier says.. (marketing stuff but still):

"Powered by Pratt & Whitney PurePower PW1500G geared turbofan engines specifically designed for the family, the CS100 can connect distant airports with its 3,100 nm range and best-in-class airfield performance. Using a takeoff field length as short as 1,220 metres, the C Series is ideal for hot-and-high and city-centre airport operations; in fact, the CS100 and CS300 are the largest aircraft able to operate in the constrained environment of London City Airport. From such challenging airports, the CS100 has a built-in advantage."
