Re: Time to end this circus: Claude has to go

Forget the vehicle, booze, etc…. No Jazz pilot actually believes his 4 trips to Hawaii were to organize a “flow” agreement with Hawaiian right? That’s probably the most telling for me that he’s a load of shit.

Re: Announcement Dec 17

Can I guess the rumour is AC buying Jazz?

Dec 17 is Investor day. The only rumour I heard was the MAX going to Rouge.

It really doesn’t, but it is quite comical watching a former executive of the competition seethe like a child on a pilots forum.

More yapping about how “Clive made me do it”. Still haven’t grown up enough to accept responsibility I see.

Re: It's Time

Merren made a number of very ill advised tactical decisions, with ultimately the full support and approval of the BoD. There's no point detailing them; the events ...

Lynx was entirely controlled from a head office a few miles west of where I am, and let’s just say that it’s a place that sees very little rain and has never seen a snowflake other than occasionally on the peak of an iconic nearby hiking trail.

“High capital cost jets”…. Elaborate The E2's are a high capital cost aircraft. Porter utilization, as tracked by any number of public websites, (some require a subcription), is shockingly low. Airborne hours per tail per day have averaged 6hrs 10 mins since Oct 16th. Over the past 7 days, it's bee...
