Also, they did not "try to kill Bombardier", they did kill Bombardier, at least as far as the commercial jet industry is concerned. Bombardier does not sort of make the CSeries/A220 in Alabama in conjunction with Airbus. The CSeries does not exist any more, the A220 is now a 100% Airbus program, as of Feb. 2020, Bombardier has zero involvement in it.

Bombardier jets are not dead just their passenger airline jets, they are still making jets, just not the CSeries, and nothing for the airline industry.

The Alabama A220 production started while Bombardier was still a partner which is why I used past tense "made" and "sort of"

That’s EXACTLY what I just said. They completely killed Bombardier at least as far as the commercial jet industry is concerned.

Bombardier now makes no commercial jet aircraft. Zero. None. They still make a few general aviation jet aircraft, but that product line is also dwindling. They completely stopped production of all their Lear products in 2021.
