Re: Bankruptcy.
Well this thread didn’t age very well.. Give it time... A debt ridden airline with high interest loans and no way to pay them off? Sounds like a recipe for CCAA. Don’t be pessimistic… They’ll never fail. I think it’s pretty clear with the current biggest shareholders (they’re ready to put $$$ if ne...

Re: Bankruptcy.
the thread is valid cause it likely will happen. i am confident ac will survive as we are to big to fail. trudeau knows this he'll give us some help in a few weeks, you'll see. Transat never went bankrupt or CCAA in 34 years... it’s name isn’t Air Canada :lol: There's always the first time. :lol: :...

Re: Bankruptcy.
Captain Kirk (aka Keith Demello) you can go $#%& yourself!!!!! . Some asshole is posting pretending to be Keith, that user name has 2 K’s. Keith didn’t start this thread. Transat will likely go bankrupt and restructure but they will still be around and eventually all their pilots will have their jo...

Re: Air Canada and Transat A.T. Inc agree to terminate Arrangement Agreement
So how many B 737 airplanes do your children own ? Amazes me how many folks dont understand where the capital came from to buy all those airplanes, you make it sound like they paid for them out of revenue, but that's just not how it worked. When Westjet originally went public they released a very s...

Re: Air Canada and Transat A.T. Inc agree to terminate Arrangement Agreement
It's not full time. Just hot summer weekends, best ROI in the neighborhood though, big markup, no overhead. Nothing illegal about it. Point is that I proved the point... ROI is one measure, but when you're making the statement "most profitable" it's not the only or even necessarily the best measure...

In that case my kids lemonade stand is the most profitable beverage business in the neighborhood... way more than the Starbucks or Hipster espresso latte shop... based on ROI...

Re: Air Canada and Transat A.T. Inc agree to terminate Arrangement Agreement
Yeah that's not how it works. You don't just get to make a bold claim and then demand that other people prove you wrong. YOU made a strong claim. YOU need to provide strong evidence. Nope , it's like Sgt Friday would say " just the facts. mam". I think WJ has had the longest sustained profitability...

Re: Air Canada and Transat A.T. Inc agree to terminate Arrangement Agreement
Westjet has been the most profitable in Canada for the last 25 years? Show that data... I'm curious. Prove me wrong. That's something that I would like to see. Yeah that's not how it works.

Re: Air Canada and Transat A.T. Inc agree to terminate Arrangement Agreement
Careful what you wish for; Peladeau is not a nice guy to work for by all accounts. Ask the Journal de Montreal employees about that. And why did nobody make a move to save WJ jobs? Maybe because if it isn't the oil industry, Alberta's governments don't care. While we are on that topic, Air Canada n...

AC will have plenty of losses of it's own. It needs to stop the bleeding of cash, real soon.

Re: Transat revenues drop by 99%, with 2,000 layoffs expected
Yup. That deal is dead 95% sure, matter of time before an announcement is made to the public . The only thing that can save it is if the EU allows it without any restrictions and Canada backs off on some of the insane conditions that it imposed on AC. Won’t happen. Govnmt won’t let TS die anyway, b...

Re: More WJ layoffs
Umm, you’re wrong. I said employees, not pilots. So the termination, not layoffs, of thousands of employees wasn’t taking advantage of the crisis? The way the employees have been treated is disgusting. The only thing that saved the pilots was the union and the cost of layoffs. The circus currently ...

Re: More WJ layoffs
I remember in the WJ/WJE flow discussion a couple years back there was a lot of debate if flow down was valid to pursue. What's the WJ pilot group opinion on it now? Every person that does bump into WJE causes training and associated costs. Has to make WJ management take pause when they consider la...
