I believe that there are two(2) further additional 30 day extensions available? Only one left now. After the end of September other extensions will require a mutual agreement (under conditions) until the final limit of december 27th. Sounds like September 27 is the date to circle on the calendar. U...

Hey guys I think it might be decided on case-by-case basis. I can't decide which is fake news this thread or the dozen media outlet reporting Canada is not quarantined entering EU. Canadians currently do not have to quarantine going to the EU. They are paying for tickets and hotels based on this. T...

From the EU itself https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/press/press-releases/2020/06/30/council-agrees-to-start-lifting-travel-restrictions-for-residents-of-some-third-countries/ Reciprocity should also be taken into account regularly and on a case-by-case basis. Applies too all, not just China Can y...

I’m not sure why we should be surprised. Even the exemption from the EU requires reciprocity. Not true according to CBC. EU only required reciprocity from China with the latest announcement. As Gilles pointed out. China Is singled out as needing to show reciprocity first before the exemption applie...

The UK didn't waive the 14 day isolation requirement for Canada..... I’m not sure why we should be surprised. Even the exemption from the EU requires reciprocity. Anyone hear a word on the subject of EU reciprocity from JT? Silence from him means he is going to do nothing. It’s his hallmark. I thin...

Starting to wonder which companies (both large and small) in Canada are going to fold by the fall

I think it is a given without aid. JT must know this is the case, so I guess he is good with it.

Gilles,

Can I assume Transat will push its restart until winter season now?

Welcome to Euroland. Congrats to the UK for leaving; hopefully other countries will follow. EU regulators halt Air Canada, Transat anti-trust probe, await data https://ca.reuters.com/article/businessNews/idCAKBN23Q2L4 Looks like AC and or Transat is the problem and not EU regulators. “This procedur...

That makes no sense at all and I have never heard of it. I also commute in uniform because of the LAG restrictions. Part of the rules are once you pass through security in uniform (required to be exempt from LAG) you can not change afterwords. I would have just complied as well but this individuals ...

Ok... what would The Toole and/or Chopper MacKay or the two social conservatives candidates do should they become PM that our drama teacher PM can’t/won’t.

Air Canada simply said it was waiting to hear what regulators decide.

How does that become "Air Canada says it's not backing out of Air Transat deal"? They did not say that. It bothers me the media can't report the news accurately or without their own little twist on it.

I agree.

And than there is this. There is so many variables at play in this chess game that nobody has any idea as to how it is going to play out. I can't see it happening in this economic climate, but I am just a lowly pilot so what do I know. https://montreal.ctvnews.ca/air-canada-says-it-s-not-backing-ou...

The MP for Papineau will continue to fight hard for Quebec jobs. He will offer no apologies for his dogged efforts to save Quebec jobs. AT will be just fine. As always. You're repeating yourself... So I guess I'll say it again. There is no 1+1=2 here... more like 1+1=1, or even 1+1=<1... I am repea...

When you have a planned tailwind is it more time/fuel saving in a jet to climb all the way to your cruising altitude on VZF (low buffet)? Not that slow as others have pointed out. High altitude, too slow = backside of the power curve = Your going down, not up. The heavier you are the less wiggle ro...

787 f/O Yul based no flying . He will be time x take off landing soon . Don’t think he’s passing the flights , Not what he told me . AC is operating at 5% right now. Or at least was. Spread evenly among the pilot group that works out to an average of 4 hours a month per pilot. Yes there are issues ...

Personally, my biggest stock market investment mistakes have been a result of maintaining a hope that a depressed stock price, showing me a loss on paper, could be overcome by waiting for the stock to recover, and then by failing to bail out before the stock tanked even further. One has to ask ones...

Whether you’re in favor or against the purchase; am I the only one thinking that this is an abuse from the European Commission ? How come they have so much power to interfere in a deal that is happening between 2 Canadian companies? Plus the fact that they had plenty of time to look at this transac...

Don't read too much into it .. it's just posturing. The final decision rest with Garneau and the government . It's clear the EU wants concessions. That first of all will give AC an out, assuming they want one. Two the EU's approval is just as important as Garneau's. Either has the ability to kibosh...

I agree. Rudder nailed it on the last page. Watch the Feds and their quarantine requirements Keep an eye on what the Feds do with the quarantine requirements. If the 14 day remain-at-home rule is extended through the summer it will have a significant impact on international travel demand (inbound).

Yes they will, their fleet is largely paid for....... How do you know that? WJ is a private company now. We really have no idea how leveraged WJ might be after the Onex purchase. A company notorious for highly leveraged purchases. For all we know every aircraft was sold and leased back to pay for t...

Sorry to have to break it to y’all, things are not going to be back to normal anytime soon. When it does, all the big boy toys are going to be “flown” by some 40 year old guy/gal using MS Flight Sim in his or her mommy’s basement. (All “contract” workers, no benefits, nada, nimini, nyet,) My bad. I...
