JetsGo Scumbags (Canadian Discount Airline gone under)
 
What does this have to do with the newsgroup? Nothing, but I hope anyone
affected can get a jump on rebooking. If you're not directly affected you
probably know someone who is due to the March break travel rush.

JetsGo, a Canadian discount airline has ceased operations and recommends
customers to make their own arrangements.

Gee, I wonder if this has anything to do with being cited this week for
"shortcomings in the operating methods".

Apart from the usual victims (my in-laws are now stranded in Vancouver), I
really feel sorry for the hundreds, if not thousands of families and
officers that congregated in Edmonton for the RCMP Memorial on Thursday.

No need to reply, but if you do please note that this message has been

At least when Canada3000 took a dive, they refunded all credit card
transactions (took nearly a year). And AirCanada took on some of the
fares....but these guys took down all the signs and everything!

Don't forget that jetsgo plane plane in Calgary that landed 1/2 off the
runway, damaging the flaps, hydraulics and landing gear, Transport will
have fun with that one.

Interesting. I know that credit card holders in the US can
refuse to pay the bill because the banks can't pass through a
charge for a service they've never received. The banks then
have to go after the airline for whatever compensation they
can get. The same doesn't apply in Canada?

Yes, the same applies here. When "Canada 3000" airline went under a few
years ago, credit card holders were the only people that got all their money
back, if you paid cash or cheque (check) you got about 10 cents on the
dollar -- that happened to my neighbour.

I think Jetsgo bought some of the planes.
Apparently the CEO of Jetsgo was the CEO of Canada3000.
Get this....his business plan was to fly inefficient planes (fuel-wise) and
minimize maintenance (boom..what was that!).

After fuel prices went way up they started losing...something like 58million
in the last 6months.
Now, 58million is a LOT in Canada!

Re: JetsGo Scumbags (Canadian Discount Airline gone under)
 
despite what CBC and CTV are reporting Michael Leblanc didn't create jetsgo
from the ashes of Canada 3000. He owned Royal over inflated the profit
margin on the books, then sold Royal Airlines to Canada 3000 for way more
then it was worth (hence the downfall of Canada 3000). Before Royal "Mikey
White" also owned City Express (operated out of Toronto Isl.) which also
went bankrupt and before that he owned another airline (great lakes air
maybe) that also went bankrupt.
When you operate your maintenance on a dollar store budget and charge fares
at dollar store rates you can't expect to be in business long.

Now it times for the Goverment to realize that we can't support this great
number of airlines. 3 national and international carriers is all our
population can sustain.

Gee, he sounds just like our own Frank Lorenzo. Thank god the FAA or
someone found him unfit to run an airline. He sank Trans Texas, sank
Eastern, and very nearly sank Continental. Then he wanted to start
another one and the gummint said no.
