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

Re: Picking up opentime
The company cares about the bots. They are testing a way (or 2) to make the bots less effective. We will see how long it takes the programmers of the bots to circumvent that new system.

Re: 777 Funded Flair Using Insurance Customers' Deposits
Yesterday there was a Bonza Tail flying a Flair flight with Flair decals on it at Gate 18 in YYC. I thought the Flair tails were in Australia now? It caught me off guard seeing it in Calgary.
