The Star is reporting that Bombardier shipped "incomplete" trains to the TTC just to make a delivery deadline before the end of the year.
While true, it's a misleading headline.
There was an upcoming scheduling conflict (induced by CP) around the Holidays - so, instead of getting caught in that and potentially missing a deadline, Bombardier and the TTC came up with the plan to ship the cars early, slightly incomplete - and send down folks to do final assembly in Toronto. All the trains went into service before the end of the year.
It was a creative solution to a problem created by CP - not Bombardier, or the TTC.
How can "true" be misleading? Media should do more to embarrass this morally bankrupt company.
Oh and backed by billions of taxpayer dollars in the last few years, and I don't care which division. Management ineptitude at it's best.
