Re: Cargojet...?

I think they missed the boat on that one. I wouldn't be surprised if that plan is on perma hold until the current state of the Chinese economy starts to improve. S. Doesn't matter what the Chinese economy is doing overall, Cargojet is not sourcing the cargo it hauls. They get contracts to haul X nu...

Well I heard they where looking at the P-8 Poseidon (Boeing 737) C-Series might be a nice made in Canada solution and a way the Liberals can funnel more cash to friends and family in Quebec.

NAC was actually named NAC not an abbreviation it was renamed from North American Charters 2000. Great little airline until some shady ...
