Interesting story in one of the Canadian papers this morning (National Post or G&M, mind is a bit fogged with jetlag and catching up on a week's papers) about how AA made an offer to buy 75% of Canadian Regional, but was turned down by Ottawa. Says they will go back with a plan to own 50% with the balance owned by Canadian partners. Interesting strategy to have an ongoing presence in Canada and increase their links to major US hubs.
