Devil Air Canada Takes On More Embraer's

http://nowaviation.com/content/view/169//

Looks like they are ordring 15 more planes from Emb. Can't see this as a very good thing for the Canadian government, c'mon pumping tax payer's money to Brazil when you have an aircraft manufacturer in the same city as the airline....

Something smells fishy here.

Why should they buy the local aircraft if it isnt the best product?

I think that you will find that they are also buying CRJ705's. Reason quoted by Bombardier for the Embraer aircraft is the pilots scope clause.

Both planes are hogs, and don't you worry, the Canadian Government doesn't need any help wasting money. Especially when it comes to Air Canada. Alot of back scratching (or massaging for lack of a better term) being done, and the taxpayers are just being pimped out. Standard.

Shouldn't Air Canada get Celine Dion to choose the new aircraft for them? After all, she has just been paid millions of canadian dollers to be the 'face' of Air Canada... how does it go, 'you and I were mean't to fly' or something along those lines.......

I seem to remember from the Jetmagic days that ERJ 145s are cheaper to operate than CRJ 200 type machine.

Open to correction of course!

What taxpayers money are you referring to cruise?

Are you unaware of the fact that AC is a private company, albeit hobbled by the Public Participation Act which keeps its HQ in QC etc.?
