Are you talking about the Chorus share that went up 6% http://ca.finance.yahoo.com/q?s=CHR-B.TO today as well? Oh wait they're gonna give away all the money we saved to the investors!

Oh and another one that went under the radar, AC picked GGN to do the new US routes feeding.

Exactly, and the coup de grâs is loosing RJ flying to Georgian.

Definition: A coup de grâce (/ˌkuː də ˈɡrɑːs/; French for "blow of mercy") is a death blow to end the suffering of a severely wounded person or animal. (And, in this case, company)

A coup de grace would be nice at this point, instead of death by a thousand cuts and then pouring a vinegar and salt solution in the wounds.

Wanna see the Toeless one get a reprimand from the mods? Maybe even punted off? Ok, here goes...

Lot of good people at Jazz, including friends of mine. Which kind of makes you an (here's where I get into trouble ) a$$hole!

Hope things are nice and secure where you are. A$$hole. Now go tell a mod you were cyberbullied by a guy they call Toeless.

And since you made me go ahead and start a kerfuffle over the interweb, which is really kind of stupid, I also kinda feel like kicking you in the manberries (which my Buddhist-like beliefs won't let me do btw.) A$$hole.

To everyone else, have a Merry Christmas! Except you. You go f**k yourself.

- Toeless.

[mbav8r]

Thanks Toeless, Merry holidays to you and yours.

[toelessjoe]

Thanks Toeless, Merry holidays to you and yours.

You to. Much hugs and such.

- Toeless.

Funny thing is kingtwo will pop back in here from time to time to see who he is trying to piss off. 30 years I've been flying planes and it amazes me how many immature people get kicks out of starting threads like this and running away.
Mods should shut it down an block people like king2 since they have no value to give.
