charter company takes dead aim at AC
Stumbled across this in YEG Journal this a.m.:

IMHO, scaring Canadian passengers kinda sleezy tactic but all's fair in business and advertising, I guess.

is this company willing to open it's books to prove to customers that it will be around in the summer? As a consumer I find this kind of advertising sleazy. Base your advertising on your product cost and quality not mud slinging.

Perhaps the amazing disappearing Minister can actually get involved in his portfolio and crackdown on this type of thing (or refer it to whomever handles Consumer Affairs). Lord knows he hasn't done much so far. In fact, I've heard Manly speaking for the gov't on this as often as I've heard Collenette recently.
Wasn't the gov't supposed to come to the restructuring table with something by now?

Not sure which charter company this outfit is using but, I seem to remember Canada 3000 expanding up to the point of their very quick demise. I aqree with above. Very sleazy advertising. Are there any airlines that are on firm financial ground other than Soutwest?
