Re: The end of Flair?

We're doing something right here folks, bringing affordable air travel to Canadians.
Your doing everything wrong - and the fact you can't see that is almost comical.

Re: Well that was a good run...

More WestJet misinformation being spread through their politburo (the globe and mail). Flair hasn't cut any flights at all, let alone 600 of them. Not one. Can you point out exactly where in this article any information or comments came from Westjet? Do I really need to? WestJet spends 30 Million d...

Re: The end of Flair?

Check the Flair forum....this has been going on for nearly 48 hrs and not a peep from Flair. Its not rocket science.


I think its time for Mr Jones's own words again....

Re: What's the future for Encore ?

FWIW - the rumors around these parts is talks were happening with CMA. I believe it eventually Encore will be split off and sold - and possibly part of the maintenance department as well. The mechanincs talks are a mess from all reports and a shutdown will happen end of April. They are trying to pus...

Re: Flair Suspending Growth Plans amid Delivery Delays and Debt

I don't think ANYTING is clearcut, lots of companies fucked around and (didn't) find out. The Bay didn't pay landlords during covid, Porter didn't pay Nieuport rent during covid. The difference with Flair is their leases were likely below market rate so there was in incentive for the lessors to tak...

Re: Flair Suspending Growth Plans amid Delivery Delays and Debt

I posted this article to show that ADP has had issues with pay in the past.

Re: Air France tailstrike

I wonder if we’ll get to see a Beluga deliver a new fuselage section to YYZ I doubt it - but It would depend on how big the tailcone is (if it's being replaced) The skin sections and tooling containers for Transats plane were delivered in a Cargojet 767. The fuselage skin sections for the 350 would...

Thats nothing.....Air Transats brand new A320 NEO that was damaged in YVR sat for something like 9 months before Airbus got out there to fix it. Then it took a couple months for them to actually repair it.

Re: Bonza flying approved.

There's just something weird about that whole Bonanza thing. None of it makes any sense - and the fact they are both owned by 777 makes it even more suspect.

Re: New maintenance contract

So management is saying maintenance is already overpaid per industry standard, and maintenance wants 20% minimum increase because the pilots won with there contract. Where does this end ? Will there be a work stoppage with Westjet maintenance ? IF they get locked out - then the company will grind t...

It’s pathetic. Whoever is at the board of these ULCC absolutely did not analyse the past 30 years history of Canadian aviation. Because history WILL repeat itself if mergers happen.
