JetBlue Defends Bombardier in Spat With Boeing
New York's JetBlue Airways has rallied behind Bombardier in the Canadian airframer's trade dispute with Boeing, as the airline continues to evaluate the CSeries for its fleet. (www.flightglobal.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
I understand that Boeing themselves were granted millions upon millions in grants from their government. On top of that they never put in a bid for the contract of these airplanes.
as an international commercial citizen, boeing seems to be overlooking its manners whilst making a silly claim. They need to look at their own history, and government subsidies are central to what they have become. If boeing wants to eradicate any bombardier aircraft, they must do so by making a superior one and selling it on the open market. Anything boeing makes is subject to examination for American governmental subsidies.
Must be something in the air or water in Washington state. First Microsoft, now Boeing, pressuring customers and the government in order to suppress competition, instead of producing a superior product.
There was quite a bit of wildfire smoke recently!
JetBlue has two vested interests in this issue. It needs to acquire aircraft in this size range and removing the C-series it will decrease choice and increase price. The second issue is they are being excluded from lower operating costs.
I don't know why Boeing is in such a twit. They don't make 100-seat planes like the CJ100. So why should they care? That's like Chik-fil-A complaining because McDonald's is making hamburgers when CFA only has chicken...not beef! I could understand it better if it was a 737, etc knock-off. Boeing should quit whining!
