Once the whole plan falls into place.... the (Liberal government) tries to wash it's hands by telling Air Canada how "bad" it is for being so strong.... and then saying Air Canada cannot compete with new rival, CanJet.
I thought we had open skies?

As far as the LLC goes, senior management are in place and planning start up actively and the aircraft are assigned. Just waiting on the time requirements.
Why do it? To bite into WJ's market share at the same level. Canjet's still a very small player, but WJ is not.

CYB, that sounds pretty par for the course where the Liberals are concerned. Wonder how they would have gotten around the 10% law if the QC judge hadn't shot them down. Now it looks like the same gentleman wants to do for the Canadian book buyer what he did for the airline traveller
RT, I wonder how they're gonna operate AC lite. Use CPs' 73s with separate seniority lists for the employees? I can't think of an airline that runs a cheap version of itself using its' own aircraft and crews, and AC already has the connectors.

Air Canada's connectors are too scoped (and rumor has it too expensive to operate) to go up against airlines like WestJet. Dash 8's don't compete well with 737's.
As for Chapters, I made a visit the other day, couldn't find my favorite mag, they no longer carry it!
They must of had 100 Martha Stewart type magazines. What a waste of shelf space.
Anyway, there was no place to sit and have a coffee - all the tables were full of people reading magazines, newspapers, books - and there was nobody at the tills! I won't be back anytime soon, why buy a $6.50 magazine that 50 people have read for free?

pigboat,
Unknown how crewing is planned. If it was me, the existing 737 pilots and F/As would go on to A320s, 767s etc. or remain with the rest of the 737s, attrition handling the surplus. Then with a legally separate company, new hire the crews on separate seniority lists and pay scales.
Didn't an American carrier start up a lite version?
