Oh boy, oh boy – I love it!
Nothing like an old fashioned cockpit match, eh Pumpkins? (I haven’t seen one of those since Vic Nakhleh was transferred to Toronto. Or maybe that was a hissy fit.) In any case, all 3 of our carriers are kicking each other in the apple over New York – pushing and shoving their way into prime slots. (I had a prime slot once).
Over in the left corner, heavy weight Air ‘Captain’ Canada is going hourly into LGA. Now that’s stamina. Up & coming WestJet ‘two toes’ Saretsky landed a $17 million sucker punch, gaining 8 LGA slots. And back in Newark, ‘cooncoon’ Porter is beefing up to 13 daily flights.
The competitors are motivated. They all dream of one day championing their very own prized business travellers – shuttling them back and forth from Toronto to New York. Gaining their loyalty. Feeding them little treats. Suckling their offspring.
In other news … on top of the 2010 bombshell permitting employees to forgo pantyhose, Disney is now allowing beards. Mickey with facial hair? Minnie will have something to say about that.
