So am I correct when I say Air Canada is basically a customer (albeit a big one) of Jazz, nothing more, nothing less? (Overly simpilfied terms, I know). I'm just wondering if it's any more complex than that, or if that's it in a nutshell.
Thanks,

Re: Jazz/AC question
From their website:
Jazz is not a typical airline. We have a commercial agreement with Air Canada that is the core of our business. Under the Capacity Purchase Agreement (CPA), Air Canada purchases substantially all of Jazz’s seat capacity based on predetermined rates. In reality, we are a contract carrier for Air Canada and operate our flights on their behalf. The CPA provides commercial flexibility and connecting network traffic to Air Canada, while significantly reducing Jazz’s financial and business risks.
Air Canada or ACE Aviation Holdings no longer owns Jazz.
