Althought as a Montrealer I am really unhappy that the C-series is now called the A220, I was very happy when Bombardier basically bitch slapped Boeing by getting Airbus to buy it and make it in the US.

It was hilarious to watch the Airbus licensing, but Bombardier also got the raw end of the deal - with the corner they were backed into they're going to end up seeing a lot less revenue off that model then they had planned.

Per unit. Lifetime revenues could likely be higher given the heft of Airbus’ marketing machine.

Agree, however, that it compounds Boeing’s image as a distracted company.
