DON'T BUY
Considering the Boeing 737 crash. They came out with good numbers and guidance in the last quarter after a few bad quarters. Their suspension of the 737s is not a huge thing, but rather a nuance. He doesn't like airline stocks and prefers Air Canada that he just sold. This is not a bad entry point. Be careful: have a buy and sell price.

PARTIAL SELL
There is some market risk in the overall market. It is an all cash deal. You will get $31 for it. There is a 4% difference between market and the deal. If you can do better than 4% somewhere else with a similar degree of risk, then you should sell. He would take some money off the table.

COMMENT
A really interest deal with Onex. He has been a long term fan for years. His first professional 10 bagger. He is not convinced Onex over paid -- they probably saw this as a great time -- comparable to US peers. He thinks the regulators will approve the deal.

Thinks there is a structural change going on in the airline industry. They are finally in a position where they are cleaning up their balance sheets and starting to generate positive free cash flow. Much more disciplined with capacity. For this reason he prefers Air Canada (AC-T), but they are both well-run companies. This is exposed more towards Western Canada. With the slowdown in the oil patch, there is some concern about the Alberta economy.
