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

They now have more than one type of aircraft, and instead of just a North American company, they are flying to Europe and want to fly to Asia. Looking at the possibility of ultra low-cost carriers coming in. In the US, the constraining factor is gate capacity at the airports, but it is not as limited in Canada. This company and Air Canada are vulnerable to a well financed ultra low-cost competitor.
