The irony is that a good part of the fleet for zip are 737-200's that used to serve for Canadian Pacific (CP) in CP's glorious orange colour, not too dissimilar to ZIP's orange. And of course with 737-200's being what they are, with parts being constantly swapped in and out, we won't see just four ZIP colours, we'll see fuselage's in one colour, nose cones in another and nacelles in yet another. As for the business side, low-cost carrier concepts make sense, but in this case, on the routes they plan to fly they plan to switch existing capacity to the ZIP carrier. I.e. fliers of Calgary/Vancouver choose AC because they are making connections or simply because with a full-or even-modest fare ticket you choose your departure time (which is every hour or more.) Now your are going to inform this customer that they have less selection of full-service flights, but for the same fare we can switch you on to a Zippiedoo-dah flight at the time you want for the same fare. AC got the Tango launch much better, they replaced C3 flights, not their own (for the most part.) > -----Original Message----- > From: The Airline List [mailto:AIRLINE@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU] On > Behalf Of W Wilson > Sent: April 20, 2002 10:49 PM > To: AIRLINE@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU > Subject: Re: New fotos > > > Zip ain't so bad......well maybe it is. > Jazz is going a bit to far.....What airline are you flying to > Baltimore?..."I'm on Jazz" Serious lack of using the ole > noodle for a creative name. > > Walter > DCA > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Simon Craig" <simonc@pobox.com> > To: <AIRLINE@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU> > Sent: Sunday, April 21, 2002 01:04 > Subject: Re: New fotos > > > > Zip?
