5% is not even a good start, rather a cynical joke of a position, given the truth of global warming. Pick a way bigger number and find the way to make it stick and the way to make the results appear. Else, more and more nasty weather will be visitied upon us all.

IT JUST SO HAPPENS to be the case the P-8 is more than capable for what the canadians need. THe canadians clearly can build marvelous aircraft, but the P-8 is here, now, staring them in the face.

ssome flights there are onlyu 2 or three wheelchair passengers, but i have seen 6 on one of my flights lately. No way to fortell how many wheelchair passenger there may be .

i avail myself of wheel chair services, and on delta and southwest there is consistent good service with wheelchairs ready for me when i depart the aircraft. Air Canada ought to look at Southwest and Delta for the right way to do this service, and remove any employee incapable of rendering this kind service to those of us who require it. The wheelchairs are in sufficient numbers at both ends of most flights, far too space consuming to carry on board. Good will can make this work better. Pay attention Air Canada....

the union leader, charlie bryant and frank borman were like two scorpions locked into a large jar with its top sealed, both refusing to slow down and ultimately stop the death dive strike that resulted in no more Easter AIrlines, I lived in Miami then, had an Eastern credit card with plenty on the balance, and still I wonder what these guys were thinking.

say all the nice things about frank borman as you can concoct, but let us all remember : he was half of the team, along with the union leader equally dogmatic and closedminded, who killed off Eastern Airlines due to a illconsceived , badly timed, strike. Poof; eastern gone away due to the pigheadedness of both these characters. Maybe not such a true american hero after all...All these accomplishments were Borman being the drum major at the head of the parade of NASA engineers. He was an inept CEO of eastern airlines, making faulty economic decisions one after another. On balance, not really such a great guy.

india can buy hundreds of airliners- they still have to staff them with pilots, mechanics, ramp agents- and they can dream of running 109 million paying passengers through Ghandi Airport, but no matter how the companies paint the outsides of the planes, the paying passengers of India will have their say, and they will say as they have said a few times before, they are adverse to paying for tickets in ruphi amounts large enough and often enough to create profitable airlines in INdia. Demand is there, but not really. watch and observe.

WHAT A NOTHING-BURGER. It only occurs infrequently, but the possibility of an inflight labor resulting in bad outcome ought to convince any deep thinkers at FAA to deny pregenant boarders beyond some definable period of her pregenancy, simply on common sense grounds. If you ae showing, you ain't going....

memo to ryanair and its idiot egotistical CEO: where else are you going to go to purchase the large number of airliners, as in 737-10 that you want to expand and maintain your company dollar volumns?
