Town hall should be interesting next week. Does farming out the widebody work to another carrier still mean Westjet has widebodies?

We've been offered a sweet deal on the Dreamliner.

Does Air Canada have RJ's and Dash's? If you ask the general public, the answer is yes, and public perception is what matters. So spill it, what's going on?

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.

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.

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? Hmmmmm......

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

Hopefully its more planes....lots

Machiavelli · Post by **Machiavelli** » Mon Sep 27, 2010 3:28 pm

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.

LisaS · Post by **LisaS** » Mon Sep 27, 2010 5:18 pm

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!

Yikes, slippery slope ahead!

I like it. Good presentation but nothing is in stone. Just bouncing the idea of the pilots first.

Phileas Fogg · Post by **Phileas Fogg** » Mon Sep 27, 2010 7:15 pm

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.

For the love of god what is it? were you all sworn to secrecy or something?

pika · Post by **pika** » Mon Sep 27, 2010 7:44 pm

Wet lease one 757 for the winter.

biffnaked · Post by **biffnaked** » Mon Sep 27, 2010 8:36 pm

Air Canada won't like it, that's all I'll say.

Are they contemplating a Porter purchase prior to porter going public?

or a hostile takeover after the IPO?
