Peekay you have some good points but from what ive seen, Porter will have to pursue other options unless they want to stay a regional competitor. But yes, if what you say does come true, Im sure with time they will definitely cancel all orders as the downtown airport idea is toast.
Its kinda sad because whenever i go dt or talk to friends who live in the condos near the dt airport, they say they cant even hear the planes, nor can i. i think the rejection was due to the sights of planes for tourism and maybe the sound level of takeoff and reverse thrusts.
Like you said Pearson is extremely expensive and pretty much at capacity, but i think the federal government shouldn't have rejected the proposal. "Toronto" Pearson airport is more like "Mississauga" Pearson airport......
Just saying, if Bombardier were really desperate, maybe they'll sell some space at Downsview!!!
