Pretty much every new aircraft type will have teething problems during EIS.
What matters is not how many issues they have, but the nature of the issues and how quickly they will be resolved.
If a resolution requires a major change or going back to proverbial 'drawing board', then it is not good.
Fortunately, most of the recent issues both Boeing and Airbus have had during EIS (Such as those with 787 and 350) have been caused by equipment provided by sub contractors and are easily resolvable.
Let's hope the issues with C Series are also similar in nature.Leave a comment:

Airbus is slashing production of its A380 aircraft after struggling to find new customers.
The company said Wednesday it will build only 20 of the twin-deck A380 next year, and only 12 per year from 2018. That's down from 27 it delivered in 2015.
Airbus (EADSF) has been struggling to pitch the super jumbo to new buyers. There are 193 of the aircraft in use around the world, with 126 more orders from airlines lined up. That's way below the 1,200 orders Airbus said it expected when the aircraft was first introduced in 2005.
The A380, which was designed to challenge Boeing in the super large aircraft market, took 15 years to develop at a cost of $25 billion. Airlines are now moving towards more fuel efficient planes, rather than super large aircraft, to cut down costs. Fuel is the second biggest expense for airlines, behind staff costs.

A Cathay Pacific Boeing 777-300, registration B-KQY performing flight CX-270 from Amsterdam (Netherlands) to Hong Kong (China), was enroute at FL330 about 50nm northeast of Minsk (Belarus) when the crew detected a possible fuel leak at one of the engines (GE90) and decided to divert to Minsk, where the aircraft landed safely on runway 31 about one hour later.
