These trade deals not looking too easy, are we not "at the front of the queue" with the US????

I think it should more a US vs Canada spat. With US saying bombardiers are being subsided which is a cheek coming from Boeing and Canada threatening to cancel F-18 super hornet orders in retaliation.
Uk is just the collateral damage but Boeing and bombardier parts are made in the UK so it’s not all bad.

What's going on with the pronunciation of Bombardier? I'm clearly wrong, but...
I always thought it was bom-ba-deer, but everyone on the news is all like bomb-bar-dee-yay. Am I right when it comes to the beer but wrong for the aerospace company?
Presumably from the French speaking part of Canada.I always thought it was bom-ba-deer, but everyone on the news is all like bomb-bar-dee-yay. Am I right when it comes to the beer but wrong for the aerospace company?

They are spelt the same, but pronounced differently.I always thought it was bom-ba-deer, but everyone on the news is all like bomb-bar-dee-yay. Am I right when it comes to the beer but wrong for the aerospace company?
Like Read and Read.
The aerospace company is based in Quebec, the French speaking part of Canada, and so it is right to use the French pronunciation.
The beer is made in England and so we use the English pronunciation, named for the military rank.
Bombardier essentially hovered up all that was left of Canada's indigenous aircraft manufacturing - what used to be the separate companies of Canadair, De Havilland Canada and Avro Canada.
This row is a bit ironic because at one point De Havilland Canada was owned by Boeing.
It all seems a bit of a made up fight too as the Bombardier C Series of airliners are not directly competing with any of Boeing's products in that the Canadian design is smaller.

CS300 is a B737-300 competitor (and a 737 max 7) with launch custom air Baltic doing just that. This row is a bit ironic because at one point De Havilland Canada was owned by Boeing.

I didn't realise we had left the EU to form our own trade deal with the US just yet? 
Negotiations must have reached a rapid conclusion when we weren't looking.
It's a sign of things to come for the EU, thank goodness we're leaving.
5 Jun 2017 - The prospect of a revived EU-US trade deal is in “deep freeze”, according to Brussels sources, undermining reports that the EU has been inching ahead of the UK in the race for an arrangement with Washington.

Whoever said capitalism was about competition?.
If the ruling is upheld in February it would be disastrous for the company and its employees in NI (and as many more across the rest of the UK.
They don't seem to have anymore customers lined up for the CS100, and the contract with Delta would most probably have to be cancelled.
At least the Transportation side of the company are doing ok (for the moment)
Out govt need to be really strong on this.
But let's not forget the new Boeing plant being built in Sheffield....
