Boeing has finalized a $4.75 billion deal to take a controlling interest in the aircraft manufacturing arm of Embraer to make up for pushing Bombardier into the arms of Airbus. Executives also announced that the new company would be rebranded as BROEING .

(not really)

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

What this really means is that the bulk of airliner manufacturing in all sectors will be controlled by two companies. And Boeing also gets a share of the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! that is currently under development.

Thus we see that Washington state and Canada  shall continue to merge into one state.

Bro ing? Sounds like they should do an Urban dictionary check before ordering large signs....

No. We have all had legal alcohol for quite a while now. Canada is just catching up with WA with respect to recreational marijuana. Now we can all fly high.

Broei ng: Will this entail flat brim hat's, vaping on the plane, and aggressive questioning of 'Do you even fly bro?'

The ERJ700 to be renamed the boeing “420".

Doesn’t Airbus only own a majority stake in the Bombardier partnership when it comes to their C-Series aircraft? Wouldn’t that mean the Dash-8, CRJ, and Global series still be under the sole ownership of Bombardier?

There’s a couple of overseas manufacturers too (such as Irkut, Sukhoim Comac, and Xian ) , but they have very little representation in North America as of now. I could potentially see Comacs making their way over here eventually though.

Bro do you even generate lift?

So the new planes will generate a lot of black smoke and the landing gear will be unnecessarily tall with giant wheels?

Correct. Airbus has a majority stake in the C-Series program . This is Boeing basically one-upping Airbus.

Washington has always been rightfully Canadian anyways.

Exactly.

You are correct. I’m no airline analyst, but I think Boeing is coming out on top here. 

Full of the sound of the Gran Fury, signifying nothing. > ttyymmnn 07/05/2018 at 17:25

Kind of weird since Boeing once owned DeHavilland Canada years ago. Perhaps they regret selling them off to Bombardier...

There’s certainly some competition in the smaller, regional airliner market, but Boeing and Airbus are basically the only full range commercial aircraft builders left. United Aircraft Corporation   theoretically comes close, but their production numbers are pretty low.
