  1. A good reminder on the Biz Jet end, I tend to forget them and its a significant part of Embraer.

    I am much more interested on the commercial aircraft end. Certainly aware of BBD, Gulfstream and Dassault.

    I don’t expect the EV end to amount to anything so a good thing to isolate it so they can dump it when the time comes
