Q: Hello, Air Canada has been very strong for quite some time. AC's PE now sits at around 13X wheras US carriers are sitting ~7-8X PE. With the risk of oil prices spiking likely sitting at all time lows, the previous "highly cyclical sector" knock on the airline business, seems less of a problem. What are your thoughts on taking a position in an airline at this time? If you were to take a position, which would be your preference in order - and why?

Q: I noticed that AC is trading at a 4.7 cash flow price ratio, P/E is about 11.5 . My understanding is that, in general, airlines are a poor investment, but I wonder if AC will be willing to pay a dividend, and I ask myself how investors would react to that. Could AC become a dividend paying stock and convert to utility type of company ? , would you buy it just for the growth ? or is too volatile for a long term hold ? thanks

Q: Air Canada has demonstrated very good EPS growth and ROE for some time. Their stock has had a modest pullback, August through September, but seems to be gaining momentum again. Air Canada has the 2nd largest fleet of Max 737 in the world. Why wouldn't the grounding and route cancellations affect results. Q1 and Q2 results beat estimates. Q3 results, typically the largest reporting period, is due October 29. Do you think it will affect Q3 results? Would you take position now or wait until after October 29.

Q: The recent chart for AC showed unremitting decline so I sold to lock in my gains. Also, I was concerned that rising oil prices would mean increased fuel costs for AC going forward. What is your outlook for AC ? Will the potential pilots strike at WJA have any effect on the price of AC ?
