Now - instead of connecter flights....just take the bus!

I have to admit though - it looks spiffy.

It's a bit weird at first glance but I suppose it does make some sort of sense. There are some airlines partnering with high speed rail connections in Europe as well. If done well it could improve the travel experience.

As an AvCanada discussion grows longer:
-the probability of 'entitlement' being mentioned, approaches 1
-one will be accused of using bad airmanship

Better get those new routes covered by tight scope language. If not, you’ll see the Bus drivers driving for YOS on the AirBus.

:lol: definitely time to be looking for a scope clause in that contract. Air Canada bus passengers shall be bussed by Air Canada bus drivers, or Rouge Bus is just around the corner...

Those bus drivers will make more than a good deal of pilots at air canada under the current wage structure.

I would assume 4 years of flat pay to "pay their dues" now that they've "made it"?

Hey man, hands off those busses. They are under 78 seats and that’s Jazz bussing right there. I’m considering bidding it but I don’t want to get frozen for 4 years in case those 4 engined electric planes show up. :lol:
