Re: Nav Canada to Hike Service Fees by 30%
And I'm not going to start a tit-for-tat on Navcanada fees. I get it that you're a controller. No one is bashing you. The bureaucracy of this institution is a textbook example of how to milk the system and its users. You know it and I know it. Can't wait for Elon Musk to actually get his Starlink s...

Re: Average Stage Length vs. Average Length of Flight
Just speculation but ACA started transferring all it's E175's to Sky Regional. Effective removing all the shortest routes that ACA was flying. Might have something to do with it too

Re: Nav Canada to Hike Service Fees by 30%
Is NavCanada intending to increase training and controller staffing levels to realise the increased service capabilities? Or are all the expensive new ADS-B toys going to sit on the shelf and rot because there aren't enough controllers to use them and provide the increased service level promised? N...

Re: Nav Canada to Hike Service Fees by 30%
Most trainees are in their 30’s with mortgages etc and are making very little. Get rid of them and most will be gone for good which will kick back training by at least 2 years. No offence but if you say pilot staffing/training and ATC staffing/training are similar, you showing you have no idea what ...

Re: 79 Airplanes Retired
I realize the Transat merger is the farfrom everyone's mind, but I wonder if swiping away Rouge is setting up for ACA for an acquisition and to keep the Transat brand as the new "rouge". Pure speculation.

Re: 737 Cancellations
I now expect Boeing to go Bankrupt - either late this year or early next year. They make a ton of money from the military side of the operation to go bankrupt. They will struggle but make it through. The military is not happy with Boeing at all. The KC-46 is years behind schedule, way over budget, ...

737 Cancellations
As more airlines go past the one year past delivery mark with the 737 and can cancel their orders without penalty, will Air Canada cancel more than the 11 they already cancelled since there should be a flood of aircraft on the lightly used market shortly? Or is the Boeing compensation to the airline...

Re: WestJet Group Hiring Freeze
WJ's daily expenses are somewhere in the order of $12.5mm, and at last report, they had roughly $1.5b in cash available, or 120 days, (better than AC's$48mm avg daily run rate and 104 day cash supply). Last report Westjet had $1.36B liquidity and AC had $7.38B. If Air Canada was at $48m a day that ...
