Boeing’s future plans threatened by Airbus-Bombardier pact
Airbus’s surprise move to swallow Bombardier’s CSeries airplane program gives it a new small-jet family on the cheap, threatening the Renton-built 737 and potentially forcing Boeing to redraw its road map of new airplane development. (www.seattletimes.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
I don't see how a 100 seat aircraft is a threat to a 178 seat aircraft? Apples and oranges if you ask me. Boeing does not market a product in the 100 seat class, and thus, Bombardier is no threat.
Apparently Boeing cannot see what you and I can see. They seem to be anti-competition which can be ruinous.
Don't know what window you are looking out of seems that they are dumping the C series at lower prices because of government aid much like the EU and Airbus
The investment (the government took a stake in the company) is exactly like what the US gov did for the car manufacturers. It is also common to deep-discount planes to the first customers to get the ball rolling. Boeing does that as well with the 737s to compete with the A320s.
Which is why I will never buy a General Motors vehicle. Governments should never subsidize private businesses. Period.
No it is not. The auto makers did not dump their cars at below cost in the Canadian, Irish, or EU countries . On the contrary US made cars cost more in those areas because of high import duties. Even Canada which has signed a deal to eliminate duties (NAFTA) violates the spirit of that deal with sales and user taxes.
Boeing receives government money in the form of tax forgiveness from federal, state, and local sources. They do not dump the airplanes at below cost anywhere.

Can you explain why you think sales and user taxes are against the spirit of NAFTA?
It is not "dumping" when there is no competition. And between Boeing and Bombardier, there is no competing products.
Again, companies price products to get business, sometimes at or below their cost. It's called loss leaders. Retailers do it all the time, and I believe many other industries do it as well. Nothing illegal about such a move.

Isn't that what Boeing is doing?
