[QUOTE=notEnuf;2437097]I'd read the contract and ask an 88 pilot how the cancelled training is a great deal, first. This just throws more uncertainty into the AE bids/awards. All because Boeing cancelled the wrong airplane 757 instead of the 737. Taller with a real option to hang bigger engines and lengthen the fuselage. Never mind, we just invented the Extendo-gear and limited our engine choices. That's cutting edge technology!

Not only that, but anyone else find it ironic that Boeing is calling it Canadian government subsides for c series, yet doesn't mind using the ex im bank to their advantage and taking subsides from government owned national airlines? Ie the ones unfairly competing against us... Funny how that works...

Welcome to Trumps America, one that facilitates this kind of corporate control. I hope those Trump supporting pilots (you know who you are) weren't thinking on bidding this airplane..If so, you will get what you deserve. I sure hope Delta doesn't take a hit in profits over this either as the economics of this jet were certainly in the numbers for next year-profit sharing might be smaller too.
So yes welcome to Trumps American the American that it should be.

LOL that has to be the best (and funniest, and wackadoodleist) TDS talking point yet.
2016 issues aside, no one, and I mean not one single person, voted either way because of the C Series, nor will anyone in any other election. If anything, BA benefitted mightily from the previous admin at the direct expense of not only unionized labor but also the nation's airline industry in the aggregate.
Either way DL will get the lift it needs.

I must've missed the part where not innovating or not even offering a product at all and then using the government to drum out a superior product is Capitalism. I thought government was a bad thing to Republicans and conservatives.
Between defense contracts and US subsidies from the EXIM bank, Boeing might as well be nationalized.
