But as much as I\u2019d like to, I can\u2019t get enthusiastic about the lawsuits you\u2019ve filed against Porter Airlines and the Toronto Port Authority, the Federal agency that runs the airport.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe I\u2019m missing something. Is this about fairness?\u00a0 Porter currently has the island all to themselves, and naturally you want them to share.<\/p>\n<p>But just kilometers away at Toronto\u2019s Pearson International airport, you\u2019re already flying six times as many departures as Porter runs off the island. And your biggest jets hold five times as many passengers as do their little turboprops. That\u2019s not good optics: It\u2019s hard to get public sympathy when you look like Goliath going up against David.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Link:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/network.nationalpost.com\/NP\/blogs\/fullcomment\/archive\/2010\/02\/26\/michael-armstrong-air-canada.aspx\" target=\"_new\">Michael Armstrong: Air Canada files suit against Porter&#8217;s success &#8211; Full Comment<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Michael Armstrong, associate professor, Faculty of Business wrote the opinion piece &#8220;Air Canada files suit against Porter&#8217;s Success&#8221; for the blog section of the National Post.
