Bombardier has proven it can still win major contracts, such as Mesa's options conversion in December worth $1.1-billion at list prices. However, new CRJ orders are trailing deliveries with uncompleted production now standing at about 20 months. BMO Capital Markets estimates that with its CRJ jets and excluding the C Series, the company holds barely 9 per cent of the world's current regional jet firm order backlog, with rivals Sukhoi, Mitsubishi, Comac and Embraer all tallying more orders.
