Da Tranny... latest from the CP's office is hiring around 300 for '08, 10 new 73's delivered this year (I think), age 65 is not playing much of a factor as we have a fairly young airline, and new union BOD voted in with contract negotiations hopefully beginning again in the spring.
Also, the $25 non-rev/jumpseat fee is history!!
