Well since we want honesty on this. We agreed to pay 6.8B for 65 planes. That is what we agreed to. The government also indicated they could see that number rising to 8.9B. Then it was asked to provide maintenance costs for the life of the plane (funny I don't add 20,000.00 maintenance to the sticker price of my car). So the number came in around 15B-16B. At that point the numbers are taking off, and since it appears any ol john can name a number it doubles every week. 30B this week, 60B next week. However, when all the dust is settled Canada agreed to purchase 65 jets for 6.8B, not 20, not 30 not 60. Somewhere between 6.8B and 60B, there is a walk away number. IF the numbers do look like 30B, Canada won't be walking away alone. Brittan and Norway and... will be leading the charge.
We aren't stupid. We pay no money until delivery in 2018, and we are under no obligation to stick with the deal if they monkey with the numbers.
