HMY does not pre clear U.S. Customs in Canada that is why they go to =
Bradley. They are a charter operator doing mostly sun destinations and =
some domestic flights.

I guessed that Neelman and Westjet had an icy relationship when I saw =
no
reference to him on the Westjet website, though Morris Air is =
mentioned. I think
they saw this as something good for both.
What exactly is HMY's mission? I saw one of their planes at LAX on =
Tuesday,
at Bradley (where they don't need to go with the pre-clearence thing =
in
Canada). Had never heard of them

I seem to recall that he and Mr. Beddoe did
not see eye to eye on the subject of the low
cost carrier model etc., plus a few internal
issues. I guess it's good to see that they have
"renewed" their relationship - it is the
customers who will benefit from that relationship
in the immediate future - long term, who knows?
It will be interesting to see how/if Air Canada,
Air Transat, HMY etc., responds. IMO,., they
have NO choice but to match or beat 'em on
domestic routes, in order to maintain market share >>
