Re: Calin is retiring February 2021
It was never his objective to create more pilot jobs.....ever. We were burried somewhere in "operational costs" during the expansion process. We were never more special than that. In addition, there was no favour. More jobs occurred out of necessity, nothing more. We would be cut loose tomorrow if ...

Re: People just want their money back, forget credits.
Because we don't all fly for the airlines, smart guy. I don't fly for the traveling masses looking for the cheapest ticket possible. I have been up until Covid, flying for one family. So spare me your eye rolling. If an airline were to do as you suggest people would quit flying with them and they'd...

Re: Qantas Flight to No Where Sells Out in 10 Minutes
One of the reasons the recent fires in Australia were so bad is these same Environmentalists did not allow controlled burns of the dead undergrowth. This is extremely beneficial as it allows new growth. These people appear to not know how Oxygen is produced.. We need to stop listening to these peop...

Re: People just want their money back, forget credits.
If an airline were to do as you suggest people would quit flying with them and they'd go bankrupt, free market at work. Maybe that's what will happen to Westjet over this, if so, so be it.

Of course the ability to do that depends on putting our house back in order between emergencies. Our failure to do that is our own fault for our unwillingness to accept a little hardship and bank surpluses to pay down debt.

Re: Air Canada and Transat announce Increased Purchase Price to $18 per Share
If Air Canada really wanted Transat, instead of paying $18/share, why not go in there today and buy shares at $5? Hmmm, I think I answered my own question. You are assuming that those who own shares want to sell them. Even if you see that the shares are listed at $5, it does not mean there are any ...
