Support For Porter Airlines

A breath of fresh air supporting the need for the island airport instead of the constant bleating from Comrade Miller and his supporters; waterfront condo owners, island squatters, etc.

Porter gets U.S. flight clearance

Business, June 21


The news that Porter Airlines will now be able to fly from downtown Toronto to New York is good news for anyone who has had to use Air Canada's service (and I use that term loosely) from Toronto to LaGuardia and Newark. In the six flights my husband has taken to and from New York in the past 12 days, three flights were cancelled and three were delayed for more than two hours. Basically, half of the product Air Canada sold was unavailable and the other half of the time it was inferior.

Is there any other service or product provider out there that could survive in the marketplace with such an abysmal record? I can certainly understand why Air Canada lobbied strongly against Porter's application: An airline providing reliable, timely service from Toronto to New York would be a formidable competitor.

Someone tell this idiot there is more than one airline flying to New York.

Anything to dump more fuel on Toronto residents, and harping on Miller. By the way, do you actually know, how many condo owners there are now down there?

100, 500?

I'm thinking, a few more than that...

1. Not within 10-20 minutes of the hub of the financial district.

2. "Dumping fuel on Toronto residents." What a ludicrous statement!

BTW I see that your are still lurking.....any chance you won't be effected if you were to come out into the sunshine?

I don't see your name anywhere on this site either, oh unHyphenated Canadian! So call me 'lurker' then. Is that anymore 'out in the sunshine' than you??

1. is there an airport within 10 minutes of the financial district in New York?

2. You obviously aren't aware of what happens with remaining fuel when planes come in for a landing.

and 3., I bet you don't post this. Because I landed one between the eyes on your lurker comment.

If it makes you feel better, I'll add a moniker to my entry.

Unhypentated Canadian said...

1. I believe the "lurker" comment was addressed to someone else so I am at a loss to understand your comment.

2. I didn't know that personal id was the norm on blogs.....there is a valid contact name or I wouldn't have received you "comment."

3) I believe there is a helipad.

4) Any fuel that is off loaded would be over the lake, not on people as implied in the original comment.

5)You lose the bet which probably nothing new to you. I just wave my hand to get your of misquitos, flies, etc.

6) You can post your "moniker" if you wish but I don't see how a nickname or alias is critical to the discussion but I would be interested to hear the moniker given to you by others.

you are the one who seems to be getting his shorts in a big knot over whether or not I have a moniker like yours. A valid contact email? Oh, is that all I require to gain credibility? So if I go make a gmail email with some moniker like yours, I now have the right to post an opinion?

You seem very upset if someone takes issue with one of your opinions. So the first thing you run to is this 'annonymous' slam. As if that removes anything from what I said. So instead of addressing my opinion, you immediately try to discredit because I lack a 'moniker', and now it seems an accompanying email with said moniker.

Will you be satisfied if I got a google email address?

will you then return to addressing whether New York has an airport within 10 minutes of it's business district?

Will you actually post this post. Somehow I doubt it.

If you want to improve discussion here and address the '0 comments' problem here, you're going to have to get over this problem you have people not having monikers with accompanying emails.

If you are starving for attention this is not a food bank so you will have to look elsewhere. I only respond as a courtesy not an obligation and I post for my own personal edification not recognition.

You have questioned whether I would post your comment twice and twice I have proved you wrong...but it will be the last time. It is back to mall voyeurism for you.

to gotcha again......

Read the last comment.
