Jaydee Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Bombardier shouldn't even be included in this topic anymore since everything is now controlled by AIRBUS. The employees included. Anyone working on the 220 are now classified as and paid by Airbus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tango Foxtrot Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Looking like C-GROV might fly Nov. 29. Friday. They took it out for ground runs today. I thought C-GROV was cool. Then I found out it has something to do with Calin Rovinescu ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly better than Boeing's short (and painful) ownership of de Havilland. This, from wikipedia: In the 1980s, the government of Canada privatized DHC and in 1986 sold the aircraft company to then Seattle-based Boeing. The government claimed to have guarantees from Boeing not to discontinue any product lines, but shortly thereafter, Boeing discontinued both the successful Twin Otter and the Dash 7. The jigs and specialised equipment for their manufacture were destroyed. Boeing was in heavy competition with Airbus Industrie for a series of new airliners for Air Canada, at that time a Canadian crown corporation. Boeing used the DHC purchase to further strengthen its commitment to shared production contracts. The contract was particularly contentious. When Air Canada announced that Airbus had won the contract in 1988, amid claims of bribery, Boeing immediately put DHC up for sale, placing the company in jeopardy.

boestar Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 The Jigs were never destroyed. They were sold off to Viking who now holds the type certificates for the entire legacy DH line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boeing bought DHC simply to ingratiate itself to the government hoping to sell a bunch of 737 junk and then dumped the company when their plan didn't work. It seems like Airbus's participation in the Canadian Aerospace industry is likely to last longer and provide more benefits for Canadians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is better than one of our new 767-300's that came into service with CF-UKN. Robert was in our office one afternoon as it taxied in and I commented that it was an awful registration. He questioned why. I said it already had a moniker of 'Here comes that f***n airplane again. The reggy was changed before the end of the month.

Theoretically Boeing wanted to use a stretched DHC-8 as the basis of a P-3 Orion replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dagger Posted November 28, 2019 Author Share Posted November 28, 2019 https://twitter.com/HowardSlutsken/status/1200082465739685889 Airbus has stretched out the A and C check intervals based on the experiences of existing operators. Also, the CRJ line at Mirabel will be converted to a pre-Final Assembly line in 2021. https://twitter.com/HowardSlutsken/status/1200086514673303552 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
