ANALYSIS: Bombardier Faces Latest Setback With Trade Ruling
The US government's preliminary decision to impose hefty import duties on Bombardier's CSeries could mark a notable setback for the Canadian manufacturer, which had framed a CSeries order from Delta Air Lines as a major win and door-opener to deals with other major US carriers.

The problem with this analysis is that it continues to make the assumption this is a Boeing vs. Bombardier dispute. Like Boeing, the author fails to realize this has become Boeing vs. the government of Canada which possesses a variety of weapons not held by Boeing's previous protagonist Airbus. The Canadian government has the ability to inflict instant injury on Boeing's military and civilian arms by slapping import and export taxes on Boeing products and sales without reference to various trade bodies.
I'd like to see a 440% tariff on Boeing products
LOL..that's actually a low number, matt, if we went by the US government's stupidity er philosophy of how the arrived at 219.63%..if we tallied up the subsidies Boeing receives (ed), it would come closer to 681%...but it won't happen.
Just doubling down.
Is it known what delta truly paid per aircraft?
Nope. All based upon assumptions.
Remember the saying Mike.."Assumptions are the mother of all screw ups"
I'm doubtful that ever gets released, but given the climate during the sales process, Bombardier was very hungry (I think desperate is a bit much) for a door opener North American user.....and adding to this, Delta has become quite adept at smelling that blood in the water. Any guess would be just that, a guess.
