Hehe... Priorities I guess...There was some disappointment among the Quebecois passengers that the crew couldn’t speak French, but no major complaints.
I don't think they have a choice. I've heard that Transport doesn't like one company having 4 different 705 OCs and has given notice to combine some operations. It won't happen overnight though you're right there.safetyfirst123 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 31, 2022 10:24 am
I'm not sure why everybody thinks that once a merger goes through, the next day Sunwing operations cease to exist. The Sunwing OC will have to continue operating for quite a while. It will realistically take a minimum of one year to integrate the two airlines, and that's IF they decide to integrate them. Having said that, if they keep Sunwing operating separately for a few more years, I can see certain areas outsourced, such as OCC.
Wtf? I'm writing to the author about this. Can't wait to hear the reply.They nearly got on a flight, but were told the pilot was too exhausted to fly and had failed a cognitive test.
I have heard that too, but I am unaware of anything that prohibits a company from using multiple AOCs.co-joe wrote: ↑Sun Jan 01, 2023 10:50 pmI don't think they have a choice.

ATC confuses us all the time too. I want SWA compensation every time ATC mistakes us for Southwest on the radio.
