anyone realize that it is YYZ's march break this weekend?
If you want beauty, take VIA Rail for $140 return. Can you say "sucker punch"? It is spring break in a lot of places, but a lot more people won't be goiing anywhere this week.
Of course, it could have been a lot worse. JetsGo could have flown to Asia and Europe, and left thousands stranded on the other side of the planet...
As for WestJet offering standby tickets, good PR. Either this airline has lots of unsold capacity, which means it'll be the major beneficiary of getting JetsGo out of the market, or it's pulling a shrewd PR number. Either way it wins, and share prices of both it and ACE should rise a few bucks...
