great clip

[MrAssbaron]

Most of the labour is going to be done outside Canada. So much for job creation.

Good investment.

[bealmor1963]

@MrAssbaron . Good Business! Why build in Canada when it can be built elsewhere at a fraction of the cost?

[MrAssbaron]

@bealmor1963 Another reason reason is, because the folks over at Shorts are the most competent crew they have especially in fuselage construction.

[bealmor1963]

@MrAssbaron and the folks over at Shorts are the lowest paid aerospace workers in Europe, hence the good business comment.

[MrAssbaron]

@bealmor1963 Agreed, however they have cheaper operations in Mexico but they are still green.

[bealmor1963]

@MrAssbaron True, but they don't have the composite capability.

[MrAssbaron]

@bealmor1963 Yes but one day that might change.Remember facilities can be transferred and monkeys can be taught many tricks

[bealmor1963]

@MrAssbaron The monkeys are being trained as we speak.

[MrAssbaron]

@bealmor1963 Yeah, a thousand monkeys on a thousand rivet guns with a thousand drills in a thousand years....Presto a plane. A thousand more monkeys with a thousand measuring calipers and a thousand spec sheets and voila... we have airworthiness certification.

[bealmor1963]

@MrAssbaron Very good lol. The point being: Monkeys work for peanuts....

[MrAssbaron]

@bealmor1963 Yes...although I always thought the pay-off was in bananas. Maybe it is bananas...aren't they cheaper per pound? I don't know...I shall pay attention next time when I'm at the market...Over and out ,mate.
