And I expect they won't. The newleaf schedule is so infrequent that it's hard to see a dent being put into AC's numbers. Plus, if WestJet is happy to match the pricing on a number of seats, then AC will happily take the remaining passengers at standard pricing once WestJet fills.

Personally I think they should just ban codeshareing altogether. It would take care of a major customer service problem with the traditional carriers, and it would stop problems like these cropping up where its not entirely clear to the public on whose aircraft services are being offered (ie: Newleaf's, or Flair's).

And, even if they do get off the ground now, this is exactly the type of uncertainty the spooks travellers... at least they are getting their money back.
But, it will bring back memories of Canada 3000 (2T) and others stranding travellers at their destination. Didn't that happen with Greyhound Air too?

Ummm, how is this arrangement really any different than AC selling seats on United flights?

An article mentioning this several days ago laid out his argument that some of New Leaf's policies were not even compliant with the law and did not match Flair's (lost baggage I think was one example). He wanted liability to be made clear between New Leaf and Flair.
Once that is settled I'm sure their short-lived existence will begin

The issue is Flair Air. They decided against going ahead with the deal and they had an investment in business, which has been pulled. They are out.
So NewAir has to replace the equity and find someone acceptable to the regulators to provide the lift.
I wouldn't hold your breath.

I don't see any way Canadian customers will be accepting of this... Similarly I expect backlash when WS tries to charge for meals on their 10hr TATLs too.

hahaha. Your post made me head back to the OP to see how this thread started.
Let's see .... back to June 2015
Enough said

Bet AC didn't see this coming:
Mighty convenient now that rouge has been delayed out of YHM till 2016.
