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.
Toronto Star reporting the following information about Bombardier job cuts (February 17, 2016):
"2,830 will be in Canada, with 430 in Ontario and 2,400 in Quebec. In all, 400 jobs will be axed in the train division and 2,430 in the aerospace division in Canada."

"A Unifor spokesman said no unionized job losses were anticipated at Bombardier’s transportation plant in Thunder Bay, which makes the long-delayed TTC streetcars"
