I wonder if Airbus is expecting any breaks/investment from levels of government before confirming the plans for hiring? Bombardier sure did, but not sure if Airbus is OK going it on their own

You are probably right on both counts! This election is definitely looking like an uphill battle for the Liberals, so yes they will probably appeal hard to Quebec (they will likely not even bother trying in Alberta, conversely). If the Cons do get elected, I feel like they will be less likely to extend many breaks to companies like Airbus in Quebec

WS updated its winter schedule yesterday, mostly with frequency and aircraft changes.
Lots of 7M8 sun flying so we’ll see about that. YYC-CDG gets a earlier resumption date as well, resuming in March instead of May. EDIT: Here’s the press release: http://westjet.mediaroom.com/2019-07...inter-schedule |

YYC June stats are out. International again had the largest bump by a long shot. Max 8 grounding probably had an effect on domestic growth.
Domestic: 1,102,225 +1.1% Transborder: 305,217 +5.9% International: 154,164 +22.1% June Total: 1,561,606 +3.8% 2019 total: 8,590,407 +4.48% https://www.yyc.com/en-us/media/fact...tatistics.aspx Quote:
In March, they'll be operating: 1x daily YYZ-LGW 4x Weekly YYC-LGW 5x Weekly YYC-OGG and now 3x Weekly YYC-CDG. I think there's some YYC-YYZ rotations thrown in there as well. |
Interesting this press release was one of the first I can recall from WS to really mention hubs specifically as part of growth. Usually the language is a little more subtle (ie. "connecting Alberta more than ever" or "Enhancing service for the East"). But not usually so overtly calling out hubs. Almost sounds more like an AC release, who don't really beat around the bush with their language about hubs. This is from the press release, bolding is mine:
Frequency increases to popular domestic, transborder and international destinations from airline's hubs in Calgary, Vancouver and Toronto CALGARY, July 22, 2019 /CNW/ - As part of its 2019/2020 seasonal winter schedule, today WestJet announced increased frequency and improved connectivity from its hubs to more destinations across its network. WestJet's seasonal schedule for winter 2019/2020 features more flights from Calgary, Vancouver and Toronto to domestic, transborder, international and sun destinations and includes WestJet's seasonal service to both Paris and Nashville from Calgary, commencing earlier than past years on March 12 (Paris) and March 16 (Nashville). WestJet's popular daily summer seasonal service between Calgary and Portland (PDX) will also extend through winter. "By executing on our hub strategy, we're improving schedules not only for guests in Calgary, Vancouver, and Toronto, but also building thousands of new connections for guests across the country," said Arved von zur Muehlen, WestJet Chief Commercial Officer. "This winter Canadians have more flights and better access to popular leisure and business destinations and will benefit from schedule improvements, frequency increases and improved connectivity across our growing global network." |

Flair's winter 2019-20 schedule is 100% domestic:

Wise of them though to be very conservative this winter and to drop YHZ seasonally as YHZ's traffic drops by up to 40% in the dead of winter. |

Boeing says it might have to shut down 737 Max production
New York (CNN Business)Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg warned investors Wednesday that the company might need to further slow or temporarily halt its 737 Max production. Boeing has continued to build the 737 Max, its bestselling jet, although at a slower pace. The plane has been grounded since mid-March because of two fatal crashes that killed more than 300 people. ... https://www.cnn.com/2019/07/24/busin...oss/index.html |
Boeing’s 737 Max jets grounded until at least October, forcing Air Canada, WestJet to juggle flight schedules
Bruce Campion-Smith By Bruce Campion-SmithOttawa Bureau Wed., July 24, 2019 OTTAWA—Boeing expects its 737 Max jets to remain grounded until October as it continues to work with regulators to fix a design problem blamed for two fatal crashes and warns that it may have to halt production of the aircraft if the grounding drags on. Boeing executives raised the prospect of halting production Wednesday as the aerospace manufacturer posted a second-quarter loss of $3.4 billion (U.S.), its worst-ever quarterly showing. The worldwide grounding of the aircraft in March has stretched longer than expected and Boeing executives admitted Wednesday that even their latest timeline to resume operations is dogged with uncertainty. ... https://www.thestar.com/business/201...schedules.html |

I believe that's passive aggression on the part of Boeing. Making that statement is a means of pressuring the FAA for an approval.
