As a Canadian whose tax dollars help develop the CSeries I hate to see 400 new jobs created in Alabama that should belong in Canada. Also I don't know what Airbus accomplishes with this. Much of the fuselage will be delivered pre-assembled from Canada. Forward, center and aft fuselage sections will be pre-assembled with all the wiring, piping, insulation, windows, air ducting, lavatories etc already pre-installed. All that needs to be done with the fuselage is join the three sections and install wall panels and furnishings. In the video on the Airbus site you can see how the major sections are already completely fitted out. In reality relatively little work will be done in Alabama and it will be mostly for show so they can say "Made in the USA"
Totally. And let’s not forget the CRJ program is now is Asia, at least the Q400 program is still here, as is the bizjets.
That's what they're doing with the A320 series. Good for my fellow Alabamians. As an aircraft enthusiast, it's a shame Bombardier sold out to Airbus for the C-series. Nothing against Airbus, but I thought the C-series would have kept Bombardier aircraft division going.
