In the meantime please show us, based on the last Q results, how AC is losing market share to WS...........it ain't there folks, AC's number are continuing to grow and within two years they should have the youngest fleet in the world they compete in.

This is essentially correct. We better get used to this.. domestic Canada, transborder and international services will each carry their own competitve priorities and service points. I would say that AC is not only trying to be all things to all people, but will, after a period of adjustment, actually succeed at doing so more often than not. The concept of price points dictating services received ultimately will please those looking for the extras they want, and those not wanting to pay for extras they don't want. (For example, I always resented "complimentary" bar service- as a non-drinker, I got no value for something every fare was obviously subsidizing.)
