"Porter is not in dire straits"
Mr. Iller
Porter has now stopped doing their code promotions
(i.e 30% off) and do you know what their regular pricing is? Wait it
looks like the same price that it was with the promo. I guess Porter is
not in such dire straits as you predicted. As I have mentioned before,
the promos were just a way of getting customer's attention (people
always like to buy something on sale). By always running a promo, Porter
indirectly said what their real pricing was, and now with the removal
of the ongoing promotion, we see that is the case.
Also, you
predicted their death with the addition of competition, based upon the
latest numbers they have actually improved. In short they are proving
that there is a need/desire for this type of service in Toronto. And yes
I know they have lower load rates than Westjet and Air Canada, but they
also have a lower cost structure.
