The business jet division is in the worst shape. The commercial jet division has an excellent product -- highly regarded by everyone -- but has struggled to gain customers. Air Canada's order of 45 aircraft is the first order in two years.
They won't lay off people who are needed to build product. If they are terminating production workers in the transportation division (not clear in which country) it's because they don't have enough orders to keep those people employed.
