Can I ask why you need to know so bad? This is the third time you've asked and you have been answered before.

Who let out the Westjet boys (girls?) out of the hangar in the daylight? You might melt. Isn't that why some of you left Skyservice in the first place?

Makes sense to me. Ir is the Spanish verb for "Go" so for our Spanish friends it makes perfect sense. Maybe it should say Ir Canada Ir for a better hockey chant?

Wow some of you really know how to Express yourselves.....

But don't worry so does Air Canada.

Does anyone know which routes these birdies will be flying? Can I still assume that I'll be bouncing around in a -100 going north?

Initially just CYTZ-CYUL runs... It's Sky Regional, contracted by Air Canada.

Air Canada island debut delayed; Terminal space
2011-01-20 05:59:54.898 GMT

By Scott Deveau
Jan. 20 (Financial Post) -- Air Canada's plans to return
to Toronto Island next month have been delayed after the
airline failed to reach an agreement in time for terminal space
at Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport.
The country's largest carrier said Wednesday its talks
continue with the terminal's operator, City Centre Terminal
Corp., which is also owned by Bob Deluce, the chief executive
of its rival, Porter Airlines Inc. But the parties have yet to
come to an agreement, which makes Air Canada's planned return
to the Island airport in February an impossibility.
"That was probably a bit optimistic," said Peter
Fitzpatrick, a spokesman for Air Canada. 'It's definitely not
going to be February.'
The airline has at least one plane ready to go for the new
service. One of the Bombardier Q400 aircraft it plans to use on
the island is sitting at nearby Pearson International Airport
already painted with its new 'Air Canada Express' logo.
Both Air Canada and Continental Airlines were granted
access to Billy Bishop in June 2010 after the Toronto Port
Authority put out a request for carriers interested in using
the airport.
Air Canada received 30 daily flights in and out of the
airport as a result, Continental was allotted 16, and Porter
received 44 more, adding to the 112 daily landing slots it
already had.
Since then, Air Canada has negotiated a deal with Sky
Regional Airlines Inc. to operate 15 daily flights between
Billy Bishop and Montreal using eight leased Q400s turboprops.
Sky Regional Airlines is an upstart operator launched by
Toronto aviation veteran Russell Payson specifically for the
Air Canada Express contract on the Island.
But before the new service can be launched, the carrier
must first hammer out a deal with Mr. Deluce's CCTC.
Air Canada had tried to establish its own terminal on the
Island, but that was blocked by the TPA, which has entered into
an exclusive agreement with CCTC that prohibits new carriers
from using the Billy Bishop airport without using the recently
expanded $50-million terminal.
Mr. Fitzpatrick would not elaborate on what was holding up
the talks.
In an emailed statement, Mr. Deluce said "negotiations
between airlines and City Centre Terminal Corp. are
confidential and the details cannot be discussed.... We
understand that Sky Regional is still in the process of
finalizing licensing with Transport Canada. This licensing is
required before any service can begin.'
Mr. Fitzpatrick said Air Canada would like to begin its
new service from Billy Bishop as soon as a deal can be reached.
Air Canada has not operated from the Island airport since
2006, when it was evicted by the TPA. Porter Airlines commenced
service from the airport shortly thereafter.
The new landing slots were allocated to Air Canada by a
third party hired by the TPA.
The process by which they were allocated, however, has
become the subject of a lawsuit by Air Canada. Its arguments,
however, were rejected in July 2010 by the courts, and while
Air Canada has plans to appeal the ruling, a judge ordered the
carrier to pay $1.8-million in legal fees to Porter and the TPA
earlier this month.
