Re: WS Bigger or smaller
Methinks the beans have been spilled over on "another" forum. Now the question is, who is wj wetleasing? Transat? That's the only domestic player with bigger airplanes. Wouldn't make sense to use sunwing or enerjet or some other 737 operator.KAG wrote:No facts just speculation we will all know tomorrow
Is it legal to wetlease a foreign airline?
Guess it will all be out tomorrow.

As legal as Air Canada wet-leasing those md-11s for cargo not so long ago.
Re: WS Bigger or smaller
When Thomas Cook was negotiating with Jazz to operate the 757's, they also asked them to operate some A330's as well. Jazz had to turn them down, it would have been too much on their plate at one time. Perhaps TC has found another Canadian operator to run the A330's for them?

Well I wouldn't want to spoil the speculation, but,......
there is a rumour floating around that RealityChex, AKA the bean, has been seen travelling a lot between YYC and YYJ in the last couple of weeks.
Remember, it's just a rumour...and who knows what it means if true.

JD,
That's so he and TM can discuss the soon to arrive 767-300ERs for his Asia ops...
Should be an interesting 2011

More and different planes flown by other pilots... for now.
I wasn't at any meetings today so take it with a grain of salt.

Re: WS Bigger or smaller
I was, and I think it's a great idea moving forward. I am very impressed how it was presented to the pilot group. I say go for it!
Re: WS Bigger or smaller
OK sooo what was the announcement?
following our will and wind we may just go where no one's been.

Re: WS Bigger or smaller
I like it. Good presentation but nothing is in stone. Just bouncing the idea of the pilots first.

It's probably about hiring me. Like Dave says... he likes the idea.
But yeah, bounce it off the pilots first...see what they say.

Wet lease one 757 for the winter.

Are they contemplating a Porter purchase prior to porter going public?
or a hostile takeover after the IPO?

P.S. never flowen on porter and this is not meant to be a shot at them. Just saying AC and AO had good pilot groups and the lawsuits still aarn't settled

Re: WS Bigger or smaller
As much as I love rumors, why don't we try to keep the details to a minimum while on a public forum. At least until its been officially announced.
