Patrick White says he understands why many Canadians aren’t particularly fond of big airlines like Air Canada and WestJet — but he worries that if they can’t make ends meet, the whole system will fall apart.
White is the CEO of EVAS, a small aviation company that operates out of Gander, N.L. He recently wrote a letter to the prime minister advocating a federal bailout of $5- to $7-billion for Canada’s national airlines.
