Tomorrows Globe & Mail headlines (and every other Canadian newspaper). Air Canada hires West Jet CEO to run their "no frills" carrier.

Ex-Westjet chief, who built it from the ground up...
Actually, Stephen Smith was only with WestJet for about 18 months - hired March 17th, 1999 and left September 11, 2000 due to "...a difference in philosophy as to management style..."
"Prior to joining WestJet, he was president of Air Ontario and prior to that President of Air Toronto. Mr. Smith has worked in the airline industry for more than 20 years that have included positions in the areas of maintenance, marketing and finance, as well as senior positions at both Air Canada and Air Canada Vacations."
