HND NH *G Lounge Scott Moir and Tessa Virtue I did a double take on Scott... then looked over and saw Tessa... then still not entirely sure, checked online and saw that there was some sort of international figure staking event in Tokyo this past weekend. I'm going to assume that they're on my flight in J back to YYZ on AC006 shortly... |

This is way side tracked but just for the record there are many company executives flying private in Canada. Large companies often have found the benefits for closing big deals outweighs the backlash. You can get to 3 and even 4 places in a day to bring customers to multiple plants or to meet key people where they are most productive.

Names of these public companies?
http://aviationweek.com/business-avi...challenger-605 Biz aircraft still an essential tool for many businesses and imagine it applies in Canada as well even if it isn't as publicized. Maybe Canadian companies just using Londan Air, Execaire or Skyservice instead of buying their own. |

PS, most if not all of the dragons are multi billionaires. They got there for a reason. Some of the "cheapest" people you'll meet are billionaires. One can download the list of aircraft registrations (http://wwwapps2.tc.gc.ca/Saf-Sec-Sur.../en/notice.asp) Importing said list into excel, and eliminating those registered for commercial use and further eliminating piston engine aircraft, and helicopters the list comes out to 740 aircraft. One needs to add: Those who lease from places like Netjets, which I assume are considered commercial. Those that for tax reasons and registration reasons (Thanks A.B. for the wisdom on registration information) have companies/holdings/financing from the US and will register their aircraft in the US or other countries. All piston engined personal aircraft that many of which could be used for private aviation uses (like a bunch of the King Airs) are not on this list. Some of these are government planes, like water bombers and and such so that inflates the numbers I think its safe to assume that there are well above 1000 companies/individuals/persons flying private.

Glad I didn't take your advice when Hunter Harrison became CEO of CP Rail as he commutes on the private jet. Returns have been exceptional on that stock purchase!

Could have been better if he weren't wasting all that money. There are exceptions, you have pointed out one of them.
