I bet Jetsgo was taking bookings a slate as tues or wed which means they should at the least be charged with fraud.

All I care about is that my carrier doesn't go belly up for the next 10 days. After that? Who cares about any of the airlines.
Always use Visa they are giving full refunds.ceo8888ca said:I have paid for a private trip end of this month with my Mastercard on the web. They apparently will not stop payment !
Where would I stand to recover my $..?
Will that be after the Government, the Banks, and then major creditors ? Which means, nothing for us ticket purchasers ??
Those planes are probably being painted as we speak. There will be another royal/canada 3000/jets go type company in a week, the same people will own it.
I would fly anywhere with Shanel. I would fly in a jet. I would fly in a single engine Bi Plane. I would fly in a helicopter. I would fly in a float plane. I would fly and float in a balloon. Shanel, a major league sweetie pie!shanel19 said:
There is still SkyService and West Jet (who's stock rose 40% because of this) as well...train said:
I heard the cc companies were only refunding the price of the ticket, excluding all the surcharges that get tacked on (fuel surcharge, Pearson surcharge, etc., etc., etc.).shanel19 said:
Yor right about the planes they were 3000 planes next is i believe Fleer airlines. The guy who bought the Can 3000 named dumped the name cause of the history give it a couple months. After all Jets go is in protection now, and like everyone lately blames westjet for espionage. What a bunch of wankers. Blame it on hte underdog who does good.

I was not personally affected by the JetsGo shutdown but my sympathies to the thousands who were. While I can understand that any airline will have financial challenges, the magnitude of the JetsGo losses puzzle me. Here we have a company that lost $10 million last month alone! And yet, they are still cheerfully advertising $0.01 airfares to select destinations. What kind of business model were they trying to use?
On the whole, the one thing that peeves me the most is the way in which they shut down. One cannot shut down a national operation with multiple branch locations (airport counters) without a fair amount of logistical planning. Yet precisely at midnight yesterday, the signs were taking down at airports across Canada and in their US destinations as well. Employees (not all of them mind you) were called at home between the hours of 00h00 and 02h00 Eastern time to let them know not to come in to work. Locks on office doors at the call centres were changed and the website was yanked.
Obviously this is an operation that went through a planned shut down. They could have at least had the decency to let their potential passengers know. What's in it for the now defunct company to have thousands of stranded passengers? I can understand that people already at their destinations might be stranded. But don't let thousands more arrive at an airport only to find no airplanes.
I just don't get it.

The reason that Transport restricted them to flying below 29,000ft is due to "inaccuracies" in their maintenece logs; they couldn't prove that they were certified to do so after recent changes were made in the equipment requirments to fly above that altitude.
I agree that fraud charges should be considered.
Michel Leblanc
Michel Leblanc was not the CEO of Canada3000. He sold his Royal Aviation to Canada3000 for $84 million and then became deputy-CEO or something like that. Canada3000 was about to launch a lawsuit against him when they went bankrupt. They had realized that when they got Royal it was not nearly as sound a company as Leblanc had lead them to believe.
Leblanc can blame Air Canada or Westjet or whomever else he feels like but when you have a business model where you lose a little bit on every customer, you can't make it up on volume.
No, they won't be repainting the planes and starting up as someother airline with the same owners. There can't be any investors stupid enough to bankroll Leblanc again.
They were selling tickets right up till 11:00 pm - so what?: they are unethical scumbags thats what.
