HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA......HA!!
Well, according to the website, they have been providing all kinds of domestic and Int'l services for years! They must have quite a fleet!! Oh, what's this... breaking news....they don't even own a pair of wheel chocks!? This can't be... JD assures everyone it's 'not a concern', just a minor 'delay', a hiccup if you will. The fleet will be arriving any moment. If you hold your breath long enough, I guess the little stars you see kiiiiiiiiiiiiinda look like a fleet of 74's arriving...now, work for nothing, and feel free to invest if youhave any spare cash - not to worry, we're right on track!!
Oh this is better than the 'Day's of our lives'. Perhaps, 'As The Windsock Turns...the Bull**** Flies'.

U&D,
You mean you just looked at the website now????
I thought a naysayer like you would have been all over that ages ago.
FYI. We do own a set of wheel chocks. Where does it say we don't?

OK, maybe you have some chocks - I'll give you that much credit.
But please enlighten us - just when exactly did the last "Domestic and / or International passenger and cargo service throughout Western Canada and the Pacific North Western U.S.A." take place!?
I'm just not sure that one Beaver, 'operated' years ago, constitutes a fleet.
Obviously any small company will stuff socks down their pants to look bigger than they really are - but you have to admit, that website is way beyond Bollocks!!

Where's 74tweaker these days? Too busy fueling 747's to enjoy a little witty banter? What about all the rest of the SAG cheerleaders? Have they all been pumped and dumped by the QB already? When will the next 'execs' get suckered in the door...?
Tune in next week, for the most shocking rose ceremony ever!

Well - that's all folks.
We had a deal pending with our half of the lease signed - but looks like we lost out to Air India.
Don't know what's next, money is almost gone and no other A/C available right now. We'll see if we can keep it open - but I'm not holding my breath. Thanks to all the cheerleaders. As for the Naysayers - we didn't fail for any of the reasons you've dreamed up.

Why o why o why is Air Canada allowed to subcontract its work out to a US carrier ? I've said it before. Ever wonder why there are so few good flying jobs in Canada?. -- And where does the AC pilot's union stand on this. Your pax flying will be next if you allow this kind of thing. Freight is always used as the thin end of the wedge. Cargo first, then the subcontract for some pax flying on "unprofitable routes to build a market".
The Canadian government is asleep at the wheel on this.
Is there a connection between World and AC? Did some of the world execs work at AC before?
