Well kudos, Shareholder: Your persistence has paid off. A very enjoyable and practical end to the FAQ...at the airport! Count me and the 4 extra seats in my vehicle as confirmed and available in that order. Once again, thanks for doing this.

BTW and somewhat OMNI: In response to your email about the Bombardier annual shareholders' meeting of which I was a part, let me tell you...it was the biggest party I have been to in recent memory. Good financial reports from all divisions (with the exception of the recreational vehicle division...although they have a new product which may soon change that) made all 3,000 shareholders present giddy with delight. Q & A session couldn't have been tamer had it been orchestrated by the PR dept., and the lunch they served all the attendees was worthy of the signature restaurant in a 5***** hotel.
I caught a tour of the Global Express business jet product and was impressed with the fit and finish (and the profitability). The many displays ranged from the NY Subway train to the CRJ 700 (70 pax) carrying UA Express colours. In the next few months the CRJ 900 (90 pax) series will be sure to be announced and I anticipate a good response from the major airlines seeking short haul jet service between feeder airports and their hubs.
The tail sections under tarp I spotted earlier this year? CRJ 70's.
Did you know that if you had purchased 1,000 shares of Bmbr B in 1985 for roughly $32,500 CAD you would today own 128,000 shares equal to $5,216,000.00 CAD. That is a 40% annual return over 15 years. Let's hope the trend continues. Shares will split 2/1 on July 07.
