Guest acj Posted September 15, 2003 Share Posted September 15, 2003 Just got off the phone with a friend at HQ. There is a huge buzz in YUL. It would seem that a deal to sell JAZZ, in a much diminshed form, has been signed with a Canadian investor and a couple of U.S. partners. It doesn't look good. Jazz out west is dead. The smaller communities are going to be served by a tier 3 (not sure who, probably Pacific Coastal or CMA). Out east Jazz will concentrate on its YYZ and transborder routes. (sounds like they will keep a mix of some CL65's and DH8's) In the maritimes it is nothing short of carnage. The whole maritime operation is going to be contracted out to the guys currently running the SAAB 340's!!!! This makes no sense to me. The maritime operation always made money, the planes were always full and they did a great job out there. The new investor is only interested in a much smaller central Canadian operation. Here we go again. Massive layoff's and upheaval at the connector. Does anyone have the number of pilots based out west and in the maritimes and Quebec? It sounds like those jobs are going to tier III. So it would seem the jobs aren't really disappearing people will just have to work for the new carrier for much much less. I think the Quebec operation was going to be contracted out to Val Air. I have never heard of this company. Does anyone have details?
