DD, this is Airbus' position on Asia, from their web site:
"Reflecting the continued strong demand for the consortium's entire product line and a US$72 billion backlog of over 1,000 aircraft on firm order, Airbus Industrie is increasing production rates by 30 per cent this year, with a total of 235 aircraft scheduled for delivery in 1998. This upward trend will be continued in 1999, when delivery levels will rise to 285 aircraft."

Also take a look at Bombadier's recent news:
"The Learjet 45 is the first aircraft certified to FAR Part 25, up to and including Amendment 77 - a standard beyond that attained for the Boeing 777 airliner. It received type approval from the FAA in September 1997, and is scheduled to be approved by the European Joint Aviation Authorities (JAA) this summer.
"The Learjet 45 represents the first entry in the next generation of Bombardier aircraft, combining sophisticated technology, the performance and economy of a light jet and the comfort, versatility and convenience of a mid-size. It represents outstanding value, as its notable performance in the marketplace already attests," declared Mr. Graff.
Bombardier currently has received firm orders for more than 155 aircraft."

I wonder if Cade is benifitting from this development.
