A new Bombardier jet draws only tepid demand
http://www.iht.com/articles/2008/07/...WT.mc_ev=click

With jet fuel prices soaring, and airlines desperate to save on operating costs, Bombardier's new 100-seat jet might seem an easy sell.

Bombardier is promoting the plane, which it introduced Sunday on the eve of the Farnborough International Airshow, as 20 percent more efficient than competing aircraft, with a roomy passenger cabin outfitted to resemble the interior of a private jet.

I don't understand how they could wait 10 years after Embraer introduced the 190 to start production of these birds. I mean, what where they doing the whole time???
