The reality is that... The covid vaccination is being reported as possibly being available this time next year. So, in reality, possibly early 2022; and then will go to front line workers first, and will probably not make it's way through a good portion of the world population until the end of 2023...

All business be it multi national or whatever will chase the proverbial dime especially if they see opportunities and it’s trending, Air Canada is no different. I mean all the airlines and their associated dogs want to get in on the “ trash hauling” business. Perhaps they feel there will be just as ...

Follow up to date recommendations from your local health unit. Stop being stupid idiots arguing about why experts are wrong. You’re not an expert or an authority on the matter... you’re more like anti vaxx ers who “learn the truth” from garbage websites. Perhaps QAnon supporters amongst the lot her...

Or, you could put on your fucking mask and refrain from senseless super spreader events until we get ahead of this thing. Is that too fucking hard for you? Does that exceed your capabilities? Somebody doesn’t read the news, not to mention what’s currently happening in parts of Europe. https://www.c...

The Liberal and Ford Governments and their media puppets have done a masterful job in stoking fear among Canadians. There is a real "casedemic" right now, with relatively few deaths. Nearly zero deaths with no co-morbid or underlying health issues. (like being near the normal time of deat...

For those who are unfamiliar Jetz aircraft are A319's configured for charters (the Canadian NHL teams and Blue Jays). Obviously they aren't being flown right now and this is an interesting, and fairly low risk test. The loads are going to be light regardless, why not maximize yield? I flew on a Jet...

Bums in the seats is what will save your airlines nothing else will. Governments of all levels and political persuasions need to make that happen. Certainly no sign of that here in Atlantic Region as of yet.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/aviaton-sector-workers-protest-parliament-hill-demand-government-aid-1.5770398 Well done Gilles! What you did today was great. Airline employees all over the country are struggling. The elected members can now see who these people are. Thank you for doing that. The ...

How about as Canadians we stick up for each other as a whole and drop the special treatment business. A lotta folks are hurting out there and need help... Couldn’t agree more. Yes, aviation is hurting badly but will survive in some shape or form, rest assured. Many small business owners that I know...

challenger_nami You say the closest airport to your friend that Westjet serves is 2 hours away. Can she get to her original destination through that airport? I don’t consider a 2 hour drive a hardship. She does not drive. So now she has to take a cab to get to the other airport which is 250 kilomet...

If they are going to throw up a barrier, that being an inter provincial 14 day provincially mandated quarantine, then this is simply a logical economic response from a company that is there to make money. If the route isn't profitable, it closes. Simple. The rest of the noise is political bluster. ...

Westjet has every right to cancel flights to whatever destination that does not make them profit. HOWEVER, they have to do it responsibly. A person I know, booked a westjet flight for Nov 15th from one of the cities in Atlantic to one of the cities in the west , and BACK. the $700 ticket was purcha...

I would argue it will be a 2022-23 time frame before you see any kind of stability in the airline/leisure/travel industry. What those industries and participants will look like from there is a good guess.

I hate to say it but I think Porter is done. This Wu Flu crap is going to continue into 2021 and there is no way an airline can sustain a 1+ year shutdown. The planes will need a ton of maintenance if they don’t fly for a year and even if employees are laid off that’s a huge expense. Not trying to ...

Yup. Who would be stupid enough to book their Xmas 2020 travel on a company that has extended their flight cancelation window 5 times? Book WJ or AC. Right? I just looked up a couple flights in December, Porter vs. AC, literally $1 difference. I know people are motivated by price, but I don't think...

Hmmm, has the airline industry fully reimbursed its passengers that had their flying cancelled? I know in Europe they are required to, at which point the various governments supoorted the airline industry. Real world example of a person I ran into last week. Pre-covid, booked flight for 6500 to Can...

Jesus H Christ..... this site is starting to resemble a Twitter feed of bots/trolls

It all depends on where you live, your age bracket and so forth...... Small town, older people = bunker in Large cities, Younger people = time to fly again...... School started (less time for all except working people with no kids or retired I guess), COVID spiking up in Canada and abroad. Yes, I a...
