Hmm, ol Kenny loses his shirt on CJ2. Then he thinks to himself "If I buy 737NG's then WestJet has to buy CJ, then I could recoup all the losses from the second time!"

B73A and B73B

Anyone know what the difference is on the historical AME document? I'm assuming 737-100, -200 for a 73A and 737-300, -400 and -500 for a 73B. Anyone? It's not a 737NG because it pre-dates my endorsement.

Me thinks there may be a lot of mirrors with copious quantities of smoke? The 3rd quarter should tell a more accurate story as there is no planned spinoffs or share sales in legacy carriers. As I read it it looks like AirCanada the airline is basically break even in one of the strongest quarters in ...

Two days later, Air Canada also announced a quarterly loss -- but its full-year profit of $258-million was the highest for any Canadian airline in the past eight years. This guy is...
