Thinks they are looking to increase their footprint globally. So much is riding on their ‘C’ series jet and that they would get so much of the global market share and he is now not sure they will get the market share they intended.

A lot of people have been focused on this with the advent of the C Series. Expects a test flight will be sometime later this summer. It will be interesting to see if the order flow is as rich. Not sure they are going to get the kind of market share that they were originally intending. On the mass transit side, he sees governments being restrained on spending.
