Bombardier Exits Commercial Aviation

Seems odd since the CRJ's are variations on the Challengers. Business wise, I don't know, but otherwise, you would think you would keep them together.

It's par for the course in the aviation business billions of dollars of federal money (tax) goes into these companies one way or another

If you live in America, you really have no idea what an idiotic statement you just made.

Corporations OWN Congress, and YOU are paying their share of their taxes. Hah!!!

The airlines can dictate what interior components are installed. Bad seats are undoubtedly cheaper than comfortable seats.

My only experience on the A220 was with Swiss, and I can’t complain about the comfort in general and the seats in particular.

"milking the public through government subsidies basically, since it’s beginning".I call BS on that comment..perhaps you should do a bit of research before making such a broad statement. Back when they bought the taxpayer sucking entity known as Canadair, from the government, they actually gave the government almost $2B. (the bought the comopany for $120M 20M in cash and $100M in Bombardier stock, which was worth 44 cents back then. It later got sold when the stock was north of $9 a share)
Shall I continue with a history lesson on when Bombardier actually got prov. govt assistance, which it was actually helping off load a burden on the Quebec government?

No matter what country it is, companies are always going to be looking for subsidies.

Followed shortly by another subsidy supported company named Boeing.
