Bombardier has joined a special club of managerial skill. First we had "The Smartest Guys in the Room" using uncontrollable greed to send the mighty Enron down the drain and wiping out thousands of investors (at least some went to jail but one of them is back (in Canada) Mr Kinder of Kinder Morgan, and his TransMountain Pipeline through BC). That criminal episode was followed by the head guys at GM, Ford and Chrysler showing up in Washington to pick their bail-out cheques, in their three private jets. Nothing new here. Hopefully some political heads will roll. 

The lesson appears to be that if you see a powerful captain of industry coming, run the other way, and sometimes call the police. Can't be too careful.
