Russian Airbus A321 crashes over Sinai
This is a DEVELOPING STORY:
A passenger plane belonging to a small Russian airline, which was flying over 220 people from an Egyptian resort to Saint Petersburg, has vanished from radars over Sinai. Authorities in Egypt have confirmed the plane has crashed.

It doesn't make any sense that Bombardier would approach Airbus and offer them a majority stake in the program. Any such deal would require regulatory approval which would take some time and could be blocked. The Quebec government has made given repeated assurances that they will come to Bombardiers aid if they are in a cash crunch. Bombardier is so close to realizing their dream. It would be a tragedy to throw in the towel know they are so close. The C Series is the most advanced single isle jet in the world. I think the crash in oil prices hurt sales since airlines don't feel pressure to buy fuel efficient jets in this environment.

Great job by the pilots! Of course it helped that they were flying the very ROBUST and forgiving BOMBARDIER CRJ! Had this occurred with another air-frame I am not so sure that the outcome would have been so positive.
