I have little sympathy for those stranded: caveat emptor. The airline business in this country will be healthier and in the end customers better served with this fraud out of business. Michel Leblanc should be lynched in Domnion Square for basically doing this a second time [his Royal brought about the collapse of C3K], but that should have been enough warning to those of you seeking something for nothing.
First they ruined Christmas for tens of thousands of Canadians, now it's their spring break...
Ouch. Somewhat of a harsh analysis. Jetsgo's model has certainly proved to be successful in Europe, so why would you essentially tell it's customers to f*** off? Royal certainly did NOT cause the demise of CMM. The combination of a weakening economy, 9/11 (remember CMM was an airline focussing on leisure customers only), and poor management did.
