Thought the closure of Lynx would have helped Flair.

Flair is next to go is my bet. Then there is still Canada Jet Lines. They are very small so may hold on a bit more. We just have to come to reality that flying in Canada will never be affordable. It’s the high price you pay to live here.

If it weren't for the financial position Flair is in, yes it would have helped. Need deep pockets to run an airline in Canada.

Even in Europe, several companies have gone under that were small as well National ones. Same in the US.
