Looks like the boys at Porter might have to update their resumes...

Just a guess.

That's what I was thinking

[flyincanuck]

Are you serious?

Whatever. It's nice to see the competition raising the bar. I don't think Porter pilots will be sweating.

[tsgas]

With the current poor financial shape of AC , the Porter pilots , might be in a better position than the Jazz pilots could find themselves in down the road.

[square]

Should be more comfortable than the old RJ's.

Jazz defaults on the payments. The government bails them out, and BLAMMO! Jazz just got 15 new planes for free and Porter still has to make the payments on theirs. Out of business they go.

That's my scenario. I hope I'm wrong. Time will tell.

I think you meant to say 18 old CRJ 100's for 1.5 brand new Q400's

They are going to have to find some real money to pay for the other 13.5

Ok?? Not sure how this changes anything at Porter.

For the Jazz guys - Congratulations! The Q400 is a lot of fun to fly. You'll enjoy it!

Is the Q400 Glass/EFIS?

I don't think we will need time to tell if your wrong...you have the logic of a 4 year old. You need to get out of Sudbury more....
