The new contract provides Air Canada with the ability to get rid of 60 A320s and 60 Embraer 190s. The purpose of this is so they can send the aircraft to their new OFFSHORE BASED (yes thats right) Low Cost Carrier. You fellas think the scope erosion on the Delta TA was bad?...

Ouch that hurts. Where is the offshore company located and are there restrictions about cabotage in Canada? That could be foreshadowing for the US future.
