In Bombardier fight, Boeing sees ghost of Airbus ascent. Risks of loss of selling military planes to Canada
Two words underpin Boeing's (BA.N) decision to launch a U.S. trade complaint against Bombardier (BBDb.TO), which plunged it into a row with Canada last week: "Never again". Still, Boeing faces a headache over what to do about lost fighter sales if Canada makes good on a threat to drop a deal for F/A-18 warplanes in retaliation for Boeing's trade claim. With Boeing's future fighter production in jeopardy as sales run dry, Boeing is anxious to keep its presence in that… (www.reuters.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Boeing needs to accept the fact that airlines can buy planes from other manufacturers if they want to.
The authors try to explain the motives behind Boeing's litigation with Bombardier. It appears to be throwing lawyers against the wall to see if any of them stick. The paper does say the relatively small F/A 18 program is at risk and that is true, but if Canada really wants to retaliate, Boeing could be looking at countervailing tariffs on all Boeing aircraft sold in Canada. Air Canada has 70 on order and WestJet has 71. An 80% tariff on those products to match Boeing's demand on the C-100 would price those aircraft out of the market....which is exactly the goal of Boeing for the C-series.
The new boss wants C series, cancelled the Boeing order.
again, a COUNTERVAILING tariff is NOT a response to another allegation or charge. Actually, It is what Bombardier is already potentially facing along with the anti- dumping duty. The 2 duty's, or tariffs as you keep referring, serve different purposes but are both filed together, typically. Anti-dumping duty is a response to predatory pricing...countervailing is a response to subsidized products. You keep referring to it as a response. That is 100% wrong.
I am not a troll...I think most your squawks are great, but again, you are out of your lane here.

"Countervailing duty" obviously does not mean what you think it does...it does not necessarily mean a response to a tort in the exporting country but is intended to compensate an importing country for subsidies to a product by the producing nation. The countervail is against the subsidy not the tort in a national court. In this case Canada (not Bombardier) would argue that the Boeing jets are subsidized and given the pace of the courts on trade, Boeing would be tied up for years in the Canadian market. Simply the "countervail" is filed against an alleged subsidy not the Boeing allegation in an international forum rather than in a friendly national venue.
While you look into your trade manuals, I'll keep driving my "land" whatever that is supposed to mean.

Boeing doesn't like it when another A/C maker does exactly what Boeing's been doing themselves? They're 'Gas Lighting'! The C-Series is a game changer in the regional market and Boeing knows it.
