CanJet LCC ? Enerjet LCC ? New Vancouver based LCC ?

I'd be interesteed if anyone has heard anything about the possible conversion of CanJet and/or EnerJet into 737-800 LCCs in 2014 - also about a possible YVR based LCC start up in 2014.

Re: Canjet going under (again)?

The mechanics held a ballot in YYZ and YUL three weeks ago - don't know whether it was an authorisation vote or a vote on a concrete proposal like the F/As - and never heard the result.

That leaves us with just a few more things to worry about - as if we didn't have enough already.

Re: Canjet going under (again)?

Does anyone have any news on the status of the renewal by Transat of the five year
CanJet narrow body contract that expires at the end of February next year.
