The "Call Option" - Bombardier vs La Caisse & Government of Quebec

Click Like to Follow Fliegerfaust Facebook page to get the News ASAP / Share to share this post now.

11:30am - Montreal, February 17 2016

This morning during the latest Bombardier conference call there was a mention about the "Call Option" with the government of Quebec ownership in the CSeries program.

As I've been "assuming" since day one, Bombardier has the right to "Buy Back" that participation to totally own the CSeries again. This is simply done by paying back to Quebec the $ investment made in the CSeries by the government. Also, Quebec government will keep the issued warrants having the options to buy in the future BBD.B shares at strike/fixed price of $2.21, very interesting when the price goes back above this point. Why "assuming"? Because I would have done the same!

This way, Bombardier recovers 100% of ownership over the CSeries. But more on this below in a second...

As for the investment made by "La Caisse de dépot et placement du Québec" in Bombardier Transport (La Caisse is already the second largest shareholder in Bombardier Inc with BBD.B and BBD.A shares), this investment also has a "Buy Back" option for Bombardier. To gain back 100% of its Transport division, Bombardier has to reimburse the investment made by The Caisse added with a 15% interest compounded annual return. Meaning? If the business goes as plan, a better offer than La Caisse comes in (merge with another transport company?) and Bombardier wants to have its entire division back to take advantage of the future higher value, it can buy it back! Nice work!

Now, back to the CSeries deal with Quebec, what does it mean? Basically, it provides cash to the company that it seems it does not need?? (CS500?) Also, as part of this deal, and prior to it in the Closing, Bombardier Inc. is keeping all the CSeries already accumulated lost (using a "write down", simply an accounting process). This allows the company to save on future income taxes, to apply it to its profits diminishing the amount of income taxes it would pay, when making a profit. Also, as you might know, the CSeries will still lose money this year with the expenses related to the first few aircrafts, the new factory ramping up, etc. (about CDN$500K in 2016), Bombardier does not have to share any CSeries profit with Quebec since there are none "for now". I'm assuming that the lost (paid using Bombardier's pocket) would be seen as an investment in the new CSeries company, increasing the Bombardier participation (paid in new shares and diluting Quebec's ownership) or seen as a loan to the CSeries new company made by Bombardier Inc. A detail, but still an interesting one…

When the time comes CSeries is profitable, using the Call Option, Bombardier would be able to "buy back" the government's participation if desired, stopping the sharing of the profits to come, as Pratt & Whitney recently done reimbursing it's loan to the government where it was associated with a profit sharing clause! Why is this good for Quebec? Everyone gets what it wants... I don't have to explain to you what it means to keep this company in Quebec and "Up and Running" (oops, "Flying and Rolling")… (Bombardier Commercial Aircraft, Bombardier Business Aircraft, and Bombardier Transport… 3 companies within one, do you really understand them, made the difference?).

I'm assuming a deal with the Canadian government to have such a similar clause/mechanic, cash in exchange of a callable equity ownership into the CSeries, allowing further investment in Canada by Bombardier.

At the end of the day, as always, investments (not given money as I head) made by the governments into Bombardier have always been paid back. Also, it means that the new management at Bombardier is really taking care of business! More to come I'm sure… Transformation and Adaptation is Key to Survival!

(As I wrote already "... here's where "reality" comes in--, and as I learned from Charles Darwin's theory of evolution. "Adaptation", you see, is the key to any measure of success in the quest for survival. If you want to succeed, indeed, if you just don't want to be eliminated, nor declared dead, with your race, or company, extinct. (In case you don't have a clue on what I'm talking about here, no problem, you know I'm here to help as always. Simply go ahead and order this book "Who Moves My Cheese" by Spencer Johnson, it should be fun ;-)."
More here: http://www.fliegerfaust.com/cseries-ftv5-is-painted-ftv6-i-774946471.html

To all the employees at Bombardier, I'm very proud of what you're building at Bombardier around the Wold! Be proud of your work! We should ALL be, as Canadian, aviation enthusiasm around the world, suppliers, customers, and shareholders... (if you live in Quebec, or have some money in some funds, pension funds… Remember, The Caisse and the Quebec government, they are "You!" if you live in Quebec).

CHICAGO: Man Found 'Living In Airport For Three Months' Over Covid Fears

Click Like to Follow Fliegerfaust Facebook page to get the News ASAP / Share to share this post now.

January 19, 2021 - by BBC for www.bbc.com

A man too afraid to fly due to the pandemic lived undetected in a secure area of Chicago's international airport for three months, US prosecutors say.

Aditya Singh, 36, was arrested on Saturday after airline staff asked him to produce his identification.

He pointed to a badge, but it allegedly belonged to an operations manager who reported it missing in October.

Police say Mr Singh arrived on a flight from Los Angeles to O'Hare International Airport on 19 October.

He reportedly found the staff badge in the airport and was "scared to go home due to Covid", Assistant State Attorney Kathleen Hagerty said, according to the Chicago Tribune.

He managed to live on...

Air Canada is Taking Federal Dollars and Running, Leaving Thousands of Workers Behind

Click Like to Follow Fliegerfaust Facebook page to get the News ASAP / Share to share this post now.

January 18, 2021 - by Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) for www.businesswire.com

VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The union representing 9,000 flight attendants at Air Canada says the airline is pocketing federal wage supports to pad their bottom line, and leaving thousands of its employees behind.

Air Canada announced an additional 1,400 layoffs on January 13, including 700 active flight attendants at Air Canada Mainline and a further 100 at Air Canada Rouge who are members of the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), on top of thousands of others who have been laid off since the pandemic rocked the industry in March 2020.

Despite months of contending with the airline that all members laid off should receive the weekly Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy (CEWS) – which is the stated purpose of the CEWS – Air Canada contends that only those still on active duty, who represent a fraction of the company's actual workforce, will be used to access this subsidy.

Air Canada is the only major airline in Canada that is denying...

Boeing 737 MAX

Transport Canada Boeing 737 MAX Correction List - Airworthiness Directive January 18, 2021

ATA 22 – AUTO FLIGHT – FLIGHT CREW INABILITY TO CONTROL THE AEROPLANE FLIGHT PATH DUE TO ERRONEOUS MANEUVERING CHARACTERISTICS AUGMENTATION SYSTEM (MCAS) ACTIVATION

Click Like to Follow Fliegerfaust Facebook page to get the News ASAP / Share to share this post now.

January 18, 2021 - by Transport Canada

AD Number: CF-2021-02

This Airworthiness Directive (AD) is issued pursuant to Canadian Aviation Regulation (CAR) 521.427. No person shall conduct a take-off or permit a take-off to be conducted in an aircraft that is in their legal custody and control, unless the requirements of CAR 605.84 pertaining to ADs are met. Standard 625 - Aircraft Equipment and Maintenance Standards Appendix H provides information concerning alternative means of compliance (AMOC) with ADs.

Number:CF-2021-02 ATA:22

Effective Date:18 January 2021

Type Certificate: A-146

Subject:Auto Flight – Flight Crew Inability to Control the Aeroplane Flight Path Due to Erroneous Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS) Activation

Replacement: Supersedes Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) AD 2018-23-51, issued 7 November 2018.

Also supersedes FAA AD 2020-24-02, issued 20 November 2020.

Applicability:

The Boeing Company model 737-8 aeroplanes, serial numbers 43297, 43796, 44298, 44299, 60387, 60510 through 60521 and 61207 through 61230.Compliance:Before further flight.

Background:

On 29 October 2018, a Boeing model 737-8 (B737-8) aeroplane operated by Lion Air (Lion Air Flight 610) was involved in an accident after takeoff from Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in Jakarta, Indonesia, resulting in 189 fatalities.

On 7 November 2018, the FAA issued Emergency AD 2018-23-51 as an interim corrective action. This AD required all operators of B737-8 and B737-9 aeroplanes to revise certificate limitations and operating procedures of the Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) to provide flight crews with runaway stabilizer trim procedures to follow under certain conditions. In addition to adopting this AD, Transport Canada worked with Canadian operators of the B737-8 to further refine these procedures. The refined procedures were implemented by the three Canadian operators of the B737-8 aeroplane.

On 10 March 2019, a B737-8 aeroplane operated by Ethiopian Airlines (Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302) was involved in an accident after takeoff from Addis Ababa Bole International Airport in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, resulting in 157 fatalities.

On 13 March 2019, Transport Canada issued a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) prohibiting operation of B737-8 and B737-9 aeroplanes in Canadian airspace.

Following investigation, it was determined that the crew was unable to control the aeroplane flight path due to repeated automated nose down trim of the horizontal stabilizer in combination with flight deck effects resulting from a single erroneously high angle of attack (AOA) sensor input.

The Lion Air final accident report contains findings and recommendations related to the multiple alerts and indications that adversely affected the flight crew's performance during the high workload situation that arose during the incident flights.

During subsequent Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA) reviews, safety issues were identified with the MCAS design, the crew alerting system, the horizontal stabilizer trim wiring, and the AFM limitations and procedures.

In order to address the above-mentioned unsafe conditions and return the B737-8 aeroplane to service, Transport Canada is mandating Boeing Alert Service Bulletin (SB) 737-22A1342, which requires the incorporation of a system update to correct the MCAS design issue.

This AD also mandates a revision to the MAX Display System (MDS) software through the incorporation of Boeing Special Attention SB 737-31-1860 so that the AOA DISAGREE alert is available on aeroplanes as a standard configuration.

During the validation of the flight control computer (FCC) changes, Transport Canada learned that the AOA DISAGREE alert was also missing from the HGS6000 head up display (HUD) system installed under Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) ST02522SE. This omission is being addressed and the revised software is planned to be implemented on HUD equipped aeroplanes in 2021. As an interim measure, an additional operating procedure has been added to the Transport Canada AFM Appendix advising flight crews that the alert will not be present on the HUD during an unreliable airspeed event and that crews should use all available sources to determine reliable airspeed.

This AD also requires wire routing for the horizontal stabilizer trim system to be modified in order to improve physical separation of the wiring in accordance with Boeing Special Attention SB 737-27-1318.

During dedicated simulator testing, Transport Canada test pilots found that, following the activation of the stick shaker, the constant noise and vibration was a significant impediment to the safe operation of the aeroplane for the remainder of the flight. Transport Canada therefore requires that the AFM be modified to add a means to disable a nuisance stick shaker. The disabling of the stick shaker also improves the crew's recognition of the stall warning and disables an incorrect activation of the elevator feel shift. As the means to disable the nuisance stick shaker is through the use of circuit breakers (CBs), Transport Canada is mandating the incorporation of Boeing SB 737-27-1320. This SB requires the addition of coloured caps on CBs for the stick shaker, to allow for ease of identification. The step, to disable a nuisance stick shaker within the airspeed unreliable procedure, is included in the Transport Canada AFM Appendix that is an integral part of the FCC operational program software (OPS), software version P12.1.2, modification.

The Transport Canada AFM Appendix also includes a change to the ALT DISAGREE alert procedure that differs from the FAA AD 2020-24-02, effective 20 November 2020. Transport Canada requires the inclusion of a step stating that the aircraft does not meet reduced vertical separation minimum (RVSM) operational requirements and provides additional guidance to the crew.

In addition, this AD requires the AOA vanes to be calibrated using the tooling and methods prescribed in Boeing Special Attention SB 737-00-1028 and, an operational readiness flight must also be accomplished in accordance with the same Boeing Special Attention SB, 737-00-1028.

China Outpaced The Rest Of The World

COVID-19 Pandemic To Accelerate Chinese Carriers' Global Importance Compared With USA and Europe

Click Like to Follow Fliegerfaust Facebook page to get the News ASAP / Share to share this post now.

January 18, 2021 - by Vincent Valery for www.leehamnews.com

As the COVID-19 outbreak spread throughout China in January last year, their airlines were the first hit by the sudden collapse in passenger traffic. Most of the world's carriers would follow the same faith by March.

However, as China managed to bring the COVID-19 outbreak under control, domestic traffic progressively picked up. According to IATA statistics, October 2020 Revenue Passenger Kilometers (RPMs) in domestic China were down 1.4% year-over-year, compared with a 60.7% decline in the domestic USA market. However, one should note that travel between China and the rest of the world remains very limited, notably due to the draconian quarantine requirements on arrivals from abroad.

Due to the faster recovery in domestic passenger traffic, China Southern Airlines had more RPKs year-to-date than Delta and United, only trailing American Airlines. Air China and China Eastern Airlines have had comparable year-to-date RPKs with Air France – KLM, and more than Lufthansa and IAG.

Starting Friday, Alaska Airlines will implement new temporary security measures on its flights, particularly those headed to Washington, D.C. or nearby East Coast cities, to try to head off potential unruly behavior by passengers traveling to the capital to protest the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden.

Alaska said it will limit the number of passengers on flights into the D.C. Metro area, increase mask enforcement, add extra cabin crew and set up a dedicated command center at its headquarters to monitor activity on those flights from check-in to arrival.

Command center staff will monitor every phase of the journey to "allow us to quickly respond to and resolve any incidents," the airline said in a statement. "We have procedures to ensure compliance prior to departure and takeoff, and for turn-back or diversions, should the circumstance warrant."

Alaska spokesperson Bobbie Egan said that "if there is any noncompliance, we are instructing our pilots to divert
