Does anyone know if Sunwing has fuel and / or foreign exchange hedges, and are they profitable at current pricing?

This is what FlyingHighAgain posted in the Canada forum on PPrune:

Bookings may be up, but how much are prices down on average. I also hear Sunwing is not hedged the Canadian dollar's downward spiral and with 30% US dollar costs, especially fuel, it has got to hurt, no? Are they actually profitable?

He/She joined PPrune 2 days ago, and his only two posts are negative on Sunwing. Do the maths...

Sunwing has charter contracts for this winter season, so there will likely be some cash coming in. After that... ?

They state they intend operating fifteen (15 :uhoh: ) 738s and are recruiting to suit. Long-term jobs ? Hmmm :hmm:
