I believe those are likely fine planes, but I feel no desire to help a country run by socialists.
Boeing has largely abandoned the market targeted by the C-100. With Boeing shutting down the DC9/MD80/B717 and with them cramming up to 220 seats in the 737 (which started with about 85 back in the mid-60s when flying was enjoyable), they aren’t going to lose much business to a plane that holds 108 in two classes.
The C-300 is a bit more of a threat (130 in two classes compared with up to 180 in two classes for the 737 Max) but neither Canadian plane competes head to head in the cattle car market.
I fly frequently and the CS is one of my favorites. I much prefer it to the Embraer
What I get from this is that Northern Ireland needs this business to help reduce NI’s drain on the British economy.
Ergo, Boeing should do the humane thing and endure dumping in their market, an unfair trade situation.
Conclusion — We know what President Trump thinks about deals that hurt the US.
Disclaimer: I know nothing about this.
Not long after Louis Joseph Armand Bombardier strapped skis to a Model T and called it a snowmobile, Bombardier has been swimming in subsidies from it’s socialist utopia pappy.
It would have been absolutely, utterly impossible for it to have survived this many years were it not for huge Canadian subsidies and “free trade” initiatives which have for nearly a century robbed US companies of lucrative contracts on everything from light rail systems and subway cars to airplanes and defense systems.
This is precisely how the globalists like it.
Isn’t Ms. May the one who made snotty remarks about Trump when he was inaugurated, and was part of the little clicque that disinvited him from visiting Britain? How does one politely tell a proper British lady to go pound sand?
May wants Trump to switch from “American First!” to “Northern Ireland First!”?
