Fairly certian that the owner of gigawatt wants a larger plane.

Liquidate is a strong word for what is considered routine at Sunwest. Planes come and go with the fleet composition changing frequently. I wouldn't treat it as a litmus test for the state of the company, even in a world of $30/barrel oil...unless Confliction, your office view looks south and east.

Some days I can see the CN Tower.

You're right though, "liquidate" is a bit strong. I'll retract that and replace it with "selling".

How do they pay to run that mammoth building/hangar they built?

I count one jet for sale, the bag run contract was not "lost" by Sunwest it was lost by Checker Courier to Dynamex Courier. Half those runs are/have been eliminated as banks figured out this electronic transmission novel tech thing for their cheques. It is remarkable that still today some banks require their cheques be flown around.

And thank you for pointing out the oil sands are hurting, Ill call CBC see if they can run a story on that to let people know.
