S. aerospace giant Boeing is firing back, vowing that if it wins a $2-billion contract for four transport planes from the Canadian military, it will ensure benefits and jobs flow to the country's aerospace industry.
Moreover, Wednesday was the last paid day on the job for 700 ACTS maintenance workers in Vancouver. In March, it was announced that the unit would be all but shut down after ACTS and Delta Airlines agreed to prematurely end a maintenance contract -- one that was never very profitable for ACTS. About 100 of those Vancouver workers will bump 100 Winnipeggers out of jobs, a bitter pill for the Winnipeg group. I think there is a place for Winnipeg down the road to do what Winnipeg does (in the aerospace industry)," a senior Manitoba aerospace official said. "But if I was a unionized worker at ACTS, I would perceive the threat to be real.

(The CSeries) is going to sell like hotcakes," said Jacques Kavafian of Toronto-based Research Capital. "We think that before the show ends, they're going to book a lot more orders. Guy C. Hachey, president and chief operating officer at Bombardier Aerospace, called the CSeries aircraft program "a compelling business proposal" for both Canada and Quebec as well as Northern Ireland and the British government. "It's a move into the mainline market segment where we're targeting with this the larger mainline carriers," said Benjamin Boehm, director of the C-Series program.

Ian Smart, Standard Aero's senior vice-president of airlines and fleets, said the deal is one of the two or three biggest it has ever signed. It's significant because the engines represent a jump into a new market -- powering planes that carry between 130 and 150 passengers. The CFM56-7 engines used by WestJet, which are produced by General Electric, are found under the hoods of 737s and Airbus 320s. It's a whole new part of the market. We'll start dealing with mainline carriers as well as regional carriers. What's really exciting is the length. That translates into stability for our organization, our employees and our investors," he said, rhyming off Southwest Airlines, Continental Airlines and AirTran Airways as potential customers. "Standard Aero has a great reputation for doing qua...

Friday's announcement to spend upwards of $4 billion on four Boeing C-17 Globemaster transports, plus a maintenance program, would come eight days after Industry Minister Maxime Bernier met privately with Boeing's top military executive in Washington. Bernier had been dispatched to Washington to seek assurances that Boeing would provide industrial spin-offs for Canada, especially in the Montreal area, where many Canadian aerospace firms are located. The Liberals say the sole-sourced purchase -- a direct buy from the U.S. government without seeking bids from other companies -- would rob Canadian aerospace of jobs and send them south to the U.S. Obviously, if they're doing it when the House is not sitting, they are frightened because they don't want to face the Canadian people through th...
