>> I am confident in setting a target of 30 to 35 % earnings growth for the current fiscal year and of 30 to 40 % for each of the years ending January 31, 2001 and 2002." Boy, you can't be any clearer than that. Maybe now people will understand where this company is headed. Stuart.

BOMBARDIER SCORES FOLLOW-ON Q400 SALE WITH GERMANY'S AUGSBURG AIRWAYS SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 TORONTO, ONTARIO--Germany's Augsburg Airways has placed a follow-on order for two additional 350-knot Q400 turboprop airliners with Bombardier Aerospace.

The airline, a Team Lufthansa member, is a long-term user of Bombardier Aerospace products and previously ordered a total of 15 Dash 8(r) aircraft, including three Q400 airliners in March of 1999.
