You have to wonder about some of the posters in this thread.
Speculation and rumour on a pilot rumour forum??? You've got to be kidding. Where did anyone get that idea?
Who in their right mind would have the nerve to 'speculate' about the viability of any Canadian carrier let alone dare to speculate (factually or otherwise) about their financial state? Maybe we should identify the Sacred Cows before we post on this forum, so that (in typical Canadian fashion) you don't offend some of our more sensitive readers.
Nah! Not me. Je n'ai give-a-!!!! pas.
If you don't agree, that's fine. That's great. I'd like to know why you don't agree. Just don't try to tell us we have no business 'speculating' or 'postulating' on a pilot rumour network with rumour and conjecture about Sunwing, Westjet, Air Canada or any other carrier for that matter.
I'm also curious to know what it is some of you don't get about the notion rumours and speculation are the very essence of a forum like PPRuNe? This is why we visit the site. Maybe you'd prefer a rumour like Sunwing are about to lease 4 discounted/parked B777s for their Far East charters coming up next summer??? (by the way, most of the ex-Zoom guys are inline for those positions) Why would they get leased aircraft to fly to the Far East? Because the Far Eastern carriers can't find the pilots to provide the service from that end.
Like it or not, in the present global financial environment, somebody's going down. So why not make your pick. Go ahead. Speculate. Postulate. Take a wild guess. Read that crystal ball. Put it in writing. See what you get for feedback. C'mon, it's fun! Give it a shot.
