AC will take the slots. But they will not be paying Porter (or anyone else) for them. They have no asset value. But they do incur a holders fee.

Everyone keeps talking about returning to 2019 levels. Please remember 2019 was the best year ever seen in aviation. YVR A320 captain after 2yrs? Completely unheard of in my time flying. Perhaps we should lower our expectations a bit to make a more realistic timeline. I would say the argument is th...

No problem.

If fully subscribed, it would be approximately 10.8 million AC shares.

AC could either issue new shares (dilute) or purchase on open market. Given the current AC share price, more likely to issue.

Ok, Cash or Shares. I thought I had seen they could do a combination of both. My point remains, I believe they would pay cash at this point.

They (AC?) don’t have a choice.

Per the amended purchase agreement, each TRZ shareholder has the choice - cash or shares.

TRZ shareholders could also get paid in cash by AC, it's AC'S option. Cash, shares (17.47$) or a combination of the two! AC has 50 000 issuable shares, I doubt they will use them at 17.47$ when market is trading at almost 22$.... MONTREAL, Oct. 10, 2020 /CNW Telbec/ - Air Canada announced today tha...

Thus far, AC has been able to ‘restructure’ many cash sensitive financing and commercial obligations. Accordingly, cash burn is reduced and tipping point for insolvency moving further away from today’s date. No doubt that AC will be engaging with vendors as well to modify terms to reflect anticipate...

So, add up mainline, Rouge, Transat block hours for summer 2019 and estimate when that number will equal mainline, Rouge, Cargo, and Transat in the future. I would be surprised if that happens by 2023. That will happen never. The plan always was to consolidate routes, fewer flights vs. seperate ope...

If in three years, which is Q4 2023, we are at 2019 level of revenue and capacity. You can expect not recalls, but hiring in 2023! I expect all recalls to be completed by the end of 2022. Peak flying levels (non COVID) commence in June of each year and run to September. True, if you are training 60...

As for Transat, share price is well over 5$ right now. Who knows, shareholders might vote it down. If not, the arbitrator can decide... but at a minimum Transat will be ran seperate for 12-18 months which brings us well into 2022. TRZ is over the offer price because the set price for those taking A...

It is likely impossible to reasonably estimate a recall timeline for AC pilots on lay-off without factoring in the Transat acquisition. That transaction will bring more pilots than jobs. To be determined is what the operational structure of AC/Rouge/Cargo/Transat will look like. Oh, and later on top...

Rudder, What impact, do you think, will the announcement of AC cancelling orders for 10 Max's and 12 220's, have on the Express operation? Just speculation, but the NB reductions vs the long term (post 2024) AC commercial plan may mean that a 50+ fleet of Express 76 seat jets is sustainable. Recall...

With Covid, is there a stronger or weaker case for the consolidation of all AC Express flying into one entity? Express is going to be a smaller operation for at least the next 2 years. Perhaps longer. Who’s operation will shrink? Jazz? SKY? Both? CHR will understand that some form of consensual dis...

and a potential 95 route cancelation commercial plan (including Express) , more negative consequences loom just around the corner. Do you have a link for this ? Yup. Q3 AC analyst call (comment attributed to CR) and this: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/article-airlines-express-frustration...

Probably correct. Only caveat is a lot of people believed that back in 2011 and it turned out Calin was crafty. He disappears for a while stacking the cards in his favour. Shows up down the road with a gun to your head. Supposedly CR wanted the cargo specialty issue settled with MOA 2. That did not...

We leaned this during TA1 nearly a decade ago. We overwhelmingly voted no. Ended up in arbitration. Final offer selection left us with TA1 minus a bunch. The jurisprudence says you can not walk away from what you agreed to. Once the MEC has recommended something our vote is meaningless. Materially ...

But if we can build a domestic cargo network to supplement our international loads this will allow us to rebuild our entire network faster than without it. In response to an analyst question, Rousseau made it clear that the dedicated cargo specialty company using 767’s was NOT for domestic cargo, b...

The only instance in the regs where ‘acclimatization’ applies is in the context of ‘duty’. Duty is associated with a cycle of work. It is only duty that forces a pilot in to acclimatization. ‘Fit for duty’ is a completely different issue and little has changed in that regard. Recall when the rest ru...

Is there any language at all to stop them from reducing other WB positions when adding these freighter positions? That seems critical to me. We aren't protecting any jobs if that's not there, and worse than that we are trading good positions for worse ones. Cargo in WB aircraft right now is under a...
