There goes the air mile points from the past 5 years or so.

AdultNex · 04-01-2003, 04:24 PM

A $100-million program to compensate Canada's airlines for losses related to the Sept. 11 attacks was so rushed that Transport Canada started writing cheques without having final rules in place, says a new audit.

Large payments went out quickly to the big carriers with the rules still in flux and with inadequate financial scrutiny, resulting in a $10.5-million overpayment to Air Canada.

And no money went to hundreds of smaller carriers for more than two months while bureaucrats tried to come up with a final plan.

The audit report, commissioned by Transport Canada from BDO Dunwoody and Associates Ltd. of Nepean, Ont., was obtained under the Access to Information Act.

The first cheque, for $7.5 million, went to struggling Canada 3000 on Oct. 17 - about three weeks before the company went bankrupt.

Air Canada got a cheque for $71.3 million on Oct. 30; Air Transat for $4.2 million, also on Oct. 30; and WestJet for $1 million on Nov. 19.

The audit found that the rules were changed between the Canada 3000 payment and the payments to the other large carriers. Rules for 317 smaller carriers were not drawn up until Dec. 18, leaving them waiting two months and longer for a bailout.

I've got news for him. If it won't affect <I>his</I> business, than it really won't hurt the multibillion dollar credit card conglomorates.

the Cocksuckers put Canada 3000 out of business with predatory practices, and now they are back at the public trough again

Monk · 04-01-2003, 06:00 PM

hmmm.... I had enough airmiles for 10 round-trip flights anywhere in North America... that sucks.

Anybody know any other good airmiles type credit card plans?

yeah, me too, i fly them to London tomorrow afternoon... and between war, SARS and AC bankruptcy, i sure wish i could just stay home

Peaches · 04-01-2003, 06:06 PM

I haven't read about the bankruptcy, but at least in America, companies can be in bankruptcy and still stay in business. Has Air Canada completely closed up shop?

My fear is that with all the airlines going under, we can all say goodbye to low airfares. Growing up it used to cost thousands of dollars to fly where you can buy a ticket for $200 to now

Edited because I called the airline the wrong name - I'm blonde....

Won't last, this won't I know ("FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) -- Some European restaurants are halting sales of Coca-Cola, Marlboro cigarettes and other U.S. brands in boycotts spurred by anti-war sentiment.

In the northern port city of Hamburg, 10 owners of French restaurants decided last week to strike spirits, tobacco and other goods with U.S. brand names from their menus.") People just won't go to those business's.

Shit I use to make a lot of money, on the black market back in the 1960's, All countries over there EAT up American " Coffee and Cigarettes". I could go into ANY little Bar with a can of COFFEE, they would line up. Won't last the boycott, I give it 1 week at the most. They love American stuff.

Oh Hamburg use to have a real good whore house.

Serge_Oprano · 04-01-2003, 07:10 PM
