" The company has been working to cut hundreds of millions in costs as military-related work has slowed."...yet it had enough to purchase Flightaware??
Interesting..I state what others have stated many times in the past about MH370's hate on Boeing. It now appears his hate on Canada too....and get downvoted.SMH
Sorry Bob, but when it comes to the safety of the other passengers and crew, and there is no flight marshall on board, duct tape works like a charm. If there was an emergency, first aid kit knife would slice through that duct tape in less time it would take an air marshall to find his keys for the handcuffs.
Many still do "purchase" aircraft, not wet/dry lease. Even leasing costs are based on purchase price of the aircraft, by the leasing company, so an E2 will costs less to lease, had they gone the route of leasing. Porter is purchasing
The A220-100 is a great craft, however it costs more (A220-100> $82Mil, 195-E2> $61).Then there is seating which is a 2-2 layout (use to it with the Q400), not the A220's 3-2, E2 uses a conventional yolk style flight control vs A220's sidestick.
I'm also betting Michael and Robert had a nice long talk with Embraer. This will be good for Porter as long as they stay their course.
