From what I understand there is no comparable product in terms of fuel efficiency; up to almost twice as efficient as Boeing and less so to other competitors. So simply comparing sales cost is silly. I have no idea about other operational costs. "Every" aircraft company receives enormous tax incentives and subsidies and who the fuck knows what that equals out to but the experts.

Trade economics are sooo complicated.

Pretty sure though that a 200+% tariff determination hurts everyone.

Expect Delta to weigh in with 75 undelivered orders.

I'm just gonna leave this here.

The only advantage the CS100 has over the Embraers that JetBlue already hates is that it's crazy fucking cheap.

The only reason it's crazy fucking cheap is Bombardier is dumping them on the market.

The concluding sentence is:

> Higher fuel prices would benefit Bombardier, as they have the more efficient airframe.

Or as the main entry for the C Series cited says:

> 21% lower fuel burn for the CS300 replacing B737-300s with a dependability above 99.3%, and 25% lower costs than the RJ100 for the CS100,

And your link states that:

> Boeing also reportedly gave United a massive 73% discount on the 737 deal, dropping the price to $22 million per aircraft, well below the CS300 market value at $36 million.

I am not an aeronautical engineer or a trade economist. So I really don't know but the use of the term "dumping" seems overblown given those statements. I guess we will see.
