- alexland 9y agoThat arrangement is heavily critiqued, particularly that Bombardier is still controlled by private shareholders (and is receiving significant public funding). It's pretty clear that airplanes are expensive to build, and every large plane manufacturer has government subsidies, but Boeing is being particularly anti-competitive in this instance and is getting away with it.
- Analemma_ 9y agoWhat does "particularly" anti-competitive mean? Boeing, Airbus, and Bombardier all get government subsidies. Are there are reliable numbers about how large these subsidies are showing that Boeing's are significantly bigger?
- toyg 9y ago> What does "particularly" anti-competitive mean? The fact that they have instigated litigation in what is, for them, a relatively fringe sector.
