Re: Westjet to start ultra low cost carrier

Just an alternative (perhaps conspiracy) theory: Westjet, by launching a separate brand, may be also trying to avoid Competition Bureau complaints from ULCC entrants when they try to smear them into the runway by cutting fares. They will be able to claim a separate cost structure from the mainline a...

R1 Airlines YYC

Anyone here work for R1 (Formerly Regional 1?) If you could take a moment to throw me a PM that would be greatly appreciated. Just wondering what the state of things is there. Are they doing much flying with the difficulties in the Patch, etc.?

Thanks

Re: Canada Jetlines

I'm sorry, I just don't get it. How do you expect to survive in the Canadian marketplace if the only thing you can provide is cheaper prices that can be easily matched and sustained by the incumbent carrier's ample bank accounts. New Leaf is already in operation and Westjet is "following" them (perh...

Re: Canada Jetlines

Yeah, I'm sure that's it. And they actually have $50m in the bank. Okay, now I'm really confused! (Admittedly, not hard to do) I thought the Prospectus of their reverse merger (not an IPO) showed them having about 500k in the bank with about 50% of that amount in liabilities. I think that a previou...

Re: 50 Q400 at WJ being farmed out

I have no skin in this game as I am an outside observer. Other than hoping that we get increased service in YQL, I really don't have anything at stake. That having been said, the move to the Q400 will undoubtedly be positive for WS in general. It will open a great number of new markets for them. Alt...

Happy New Year Everyone! As much as I'd love to see some expanded service here into YQL (YQL-YVR please!!!). I don't see how a q400 would make sense. I don't doubt that WS would be able to stimulate the market but I don't know if it work that well. Where I think the Q400 would be great is into YMM o...

Re: How long do you give 'em?

I guess they have to find something to do with the 31s left over from East Coast Airways. I give this venture about the same amount of time as their previous one.

It was a big controversy earlier this year but everything seems to have died down. Does anyone have any insight on Emirates & Etihad getting expanded flights?

Thanks for the clarification JAH. My response was a little over simplified.

It's all over the news now and apparently the Ontario Court has appointed a receiver.

Does anybody know who it is yet?

Re: Skyservice

Receivership is the first step of the CCAA process. A receiver is appointed to deal with (sell) the assets of the company to hopefully satisfy the creditors. This also gives the company time to reorganize and find new investors to take the new company out of receivership. If the above is not achieve...

Last I checked, it was up 20 cents. That's after a pretty good run for the last couple weeks.
