Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Being in Canada half the year, I read it with Canadian cadence and emphasis and that made me laugh. I don't think that was what he was going for though.

Making fun of the way SJI spells Air Lines perhaps? That's what I guessed he attempted.

Maybe this will be a wake up call to Boeing and hopefully they will start trying again.

You mean like not put all their eggs in one basket, a-la 787? And design/build something that airlines actually need?
Nah, makes to much sense.

Well the 787 actually is a solid and popular airplane. But I think the teething issues they had, and what it might do to a stock price scared them away from innovation.

No doubt it seems good from the outside. But they have completely omitted a huge section of the market, that the Canadians just snatched up.
Now the question is how will Bombardier make it over the hump of such a huge financial loss just to sell airplanes ($500m?).

Building the C series has brought Bombardier to the brink of bankruptcy. Without this order and subsequent follow ons they would be sunk. Boeing was (sorta) smart to say they'd stop betting the farm. That being said eventually they'll have to come up with something different.

All the responsibility none of the authority
I think @Jimflyfast should upgrade into it...
Now THAT is worth of the name "Dreamliner". Not just a plastic 767.
