we should shoot higher and try to trade for Hawaii or Alaska.

We're not getting McDavid for James Neal.

The irony is that there wasn't any demand before covid, hence the high prices to fly in and out of there. I think AC and WS were flying there as a service, not because they broke even let alone made money.

Atlantic premiers want federales to take "urgent action".

They were feeders. Most people in and out of those places were going on to profitable flights/destinations

That’s the history of the Maritimes in a nutshell.

Wow so much hate on the people that have work very hard over the years in Alberta. The demand was there during the oil and gas boom cause there was so many workers flying back and forth. They had already reduced the flights when the bottom dropped out of AB this is just another nail.

Convert those pogey-sucking, fat, lazy, grotesquely over-represented in govt, leeches into the one fucking province that they should barely be and open it the fuck up!

To be clear, I love martime people who want to work. I despise their provincial politicians who very much prefer to suck at the federal teat than to create opportunities for their citizens to earn a living.

That demand continues and you can see that the flights from Halifax to Calgary have actually increased in frequency.

They work one or two turnarounds (I.e. 4mo per year), and collect EI the rest of the year.

I’m sure there are exceptions, but I have yet to run into one.

Loved the newfies that I worked with over the years when I was in O&G. Most are down to earth good people if a bit harder to understand.

But when you do something that make a particular business not sustainable, expect the consequence and live with it. There is no point crying to momma when you are the one not playing the game.

End of the day, they ain't cut off. There are still flights to some major cities, just less. They just have to figure out the rest.
