By the way, if all of these 'stranded' JetsGo passengers only lost a dollar, then what is the big deal??? In fact they were paying about what the rest of the populace were paying. JetsGo made money in its first few years, it was the unbridled expansion that did them in.

Canada's own version of Gray Doofus.....errr.......Davis. Take a stand in the market that ends up dragging the organization down and then point the finger at everyone else. Love these guys' egos. They actually think of themselves as "leaders".
