Canadian buddy just sent me this video. This is my first visual exposure to the airplane although I have heard about it. Looks like very well designed airplane - no surprise as I am a Bombardier fan with time in the CL300 and Lears. Evidently the C-Series has had manufacturing delays and first flight should happen in the next week or two.

My buddy mentioned Republic has some orders but may not execute them. Who else could order them in the States? UAL? Seems like Embraer is beating Bombardier to the punch with orders. I am sure scope issues could make this aircraft a touchy subject with the legacy pilots - that's why I hope they fly them if they are ordered.
