Ouch!!!

So, as someone "in-the-know", tell us how this so-called scheme works with Serviceair
I'd honestly like to know. Are they charging guys for their training like Jets-almost-Go-bust???

First of all, no one in Canada with or without the 'pockets' to operate an air cargo operation, has done much. Right?

ICC, ACS, Kewlona Flightcrap, Asses, Royal, Can't Air, who's-your-father???

But....eventually....odds are, someone is going to crack the Golden Egg. With or without YOUR approval. Right? Someone will find the 'key' that unlocks the secret to success. Right? Who's to say Serviceair will or won't be the one??? Who's to say KFC won't? First Air? Take yer pick, dude. AND, how the heck do you know where their financing is coming from??? B747-200 are cheap, cheap!! PLUS they are the perfect aeroplane for that kind of work. What are you thinking???

Have you checked out the market forecasts put out by both Boeing and Airbus??? Especially their Air Cargo market forecasts???
If not? Then you really haven't got much to say as far as who's going to do what in ADANAC until you read them.

Wait. Maybe you do have much to say, and we're listening, but I think you may be missing some additional information in your rush to judgement on the success of this OR any other start-up.

Ambitious projects are just that. What WAS won't necessarily be the rule but rather the exception. Forgive me if I'm wrong but your post sounds an awful lot like 'sour grapes'. But you know what? Given the present state of the so-called 'industry' in the Great White North...you're entitled to it.

I'd suggest you let those who want to play the game....play the game. Wherever they get their bucks. Do we really care as drivers? No, not really. As long as we get a free type and some time on type to be marketable, who gives a f..k???

Pull your neck in. One of these outfits is long overdue for some success. Let's hope it's these guys. EH?

Be as blunt as you like my friend, but it looks to me from what I read and what I hear, they are a reality and will actually operate.

...and that's a good thing, whether we agree or disagree.
