Bombardier is moving its earnings release forward by one day.

The latest read on the company's financial health will come Thursday instead of Friday.

The Quebec company will only say it has a scheduling conflict, but rumours are swirling Delta airlines may confirm the purchase of dozens of new jets.

The CSeries plane program has been struggling with delays and less-than-stellar sales.

Bombardier is currently seeking US$1 billion from the federal government, after being offered a similar amount from the provincial government.

That first provincial payment will come soon.

Meanwhile Bombardier's train division has been under fire lately for missing deadlines on supplying new train cars for public transit projects in Montreal and Toronto.

On Friday Bombardier has its annual general meeting.
