The real cost of "job creation"
TPA president Geoffrey A. Wilson in a recent article in Yonge Street Media:
Wilson says the projects accompanying the airport's "unquestionable growth" are creating many jobs directly through Porter airlines and through its own hiring, but said it was hard to put a number of how many jobs would be created.
Alright, by this logic I will suggest that Porter/TPA should do all it can to poison the residents of Toronto Island and the waterfront because if these residents get really sick, then it will create jobs in the health care industry.
And how about this: Let's build a nuclear power plant and also put a chemical waste treatment plant on the shores of Lake Joseph in Muskoka. If the cottage owners complain, well, we'll just quote the number of jobs that are being created. I'm guessing that the cottage owners (who may include owners/managers of Porter Airlines) in recognizing their own logic used above, will be happy to see these industries come to their waterfront neighbourhood.
Oh, and one last item. Wilson says that the airport's growth is indeed creating jobs. Really? Thanks for telling me because I would have assumed that the employee count would have not risen during an expansion from 0 to 20 planes. I would have thought that only one pilot was needed for 20 planes. So, glad you cleared that up for me.
