And the "Pot calling the kettle black" Embraer hit with massive fine for bribing officials to score contracts. Supported by the US government that allows Boeing to give away airliners in return for over priced and lucrative military contracts.

Wow, I am almost frightened by how much I don't care what the Brazilians OR the Americans think.

Isn't the only reason the Cseries is anything more what the arrow was, is beacuase of American orders?

[Meatservo]

So, what's your point? Americans object to alleged patronage with respect to a foreign government and a foreign manufacturer, but buy the planes anyway? Like I say, is there any reason to give a shit what some of them object to? Or the Brazilians?

One would have to wonder any kick backs were given when Air Canada bought all their Embraer's. I still remember the Airbus scandal.
