Didn't Coffee Bean say AC's numbers would plunge in November? Looks like AC is still 4-1/2 points higher than WestJet which has a smaller more compact network and generally is the low fare carrier. Something's not going right over in Calgary. (No computer problems to rationalize this year's performance!)
I certainly hope Air Canada posts a profit in Q4 but I think it's safe to say that Air Canada needs a much higher load factor than Westjet to breakeven. Even with an international network to feed into I can't imagine the yields were very high this past month, as is typical for the time of year. I'm quite pleased with our numbers because they beat our goal for the month.
