McGill University — Tue, 30 Apr 2024 17:50:38 +0000

Air Canada and WestJet both increase checked bag fees

McGill University — Fri, 08 Mar 2024 16:10:18 +0000

In February, WestJet announced it was increasing fees for checked bags. Shortly after, Air Canada followed suit. Both airlines now charge between $35 and $42 for the first checked bag on economy fares. Though now common throughout the industry, it was only in 2014 that Canada��s major airlines introduced checked bag fees. ��It��s a business,�� says Prof. Karl Moore. ��You��re leaving money on the table if you don��t do it.

Airfares are going down, but additional fees can offset any savings

McGill University — Fri, 08 Mar 2024 16:08:43 +0000

Airfares are getting cheaper in Canada, but that doesn��t necessarily mean you��ll pay less when you fly.

Low fares help attract customers, but the added fees can drive up the final bill substantially. ��Airlines entice you with the low cost of the ticket, but the price is not as low as it appears with the ancillary fees,�� Prof.

McGill University — Thu, 25 Jan 2024 20:42:14 +0000

McGill University — Fri, 20 Oct 2023 16:06:47 +0000

As Pakistan International Airlines grapples with financial challenges, the carrier has made service cutbacks, reducing the number of domestic flights it operates, and unilaterally rebooking some passengers. ��It's not easy for any airline to decide to cut back services,�� says Associate Professor Karl Moore, as it can result in long-term damage to an airline��s reputation.

��Skiplagging�� can save you money while you travel, but airlines don��t approve

McGill University — Mon, 14 Aug 2023 18:31:09 +0000

Airfares don��t always make a lot of sense. For example, a flight from Montreal to Calgary can cost more than a flight from Montreal to Vancouver that has a stop in Calgary. More and more air travelers have been buying a multi-leg ticket, and disembarking at one of the stops along the way. It��s called skiplagging. ��This has been around for a long time, but it is becoming more common, especially among Gen Zs,�� says Prof. Karl Moore.

Employee scheduling system contributed to major Southwest Airlines service disruptions, but company is likely to survive

McGill University — Thu, 12 Jan 2023 14:36:57 +0000

In an article for Thinkers 50, Desautels Professor Karl Moore discusses how introverted managers can best direct extroverts.

AMT rejects Bombardier bid for new train cars, goes with Chinese firm

McGill University — Thu, 18 May 2017 15:06:29 +0000

At one point, Bombardier would have been a shoo-in for the contract to build new commuter-train cars for Montreal��s Agence M��tropolitaine de Transport, but not this time.

Instead, the contract is going to the China Railway Rolling Stock Corporation, which bid at $69 million, compared to Bombardier��s $103 million �� and boasts a wait of six-months less for the new cars.

McGill University — Tue, 16 May 2017 14:04:07 +0000

After 2020, Air Canada plans to be running its own in-house loyalty program instead of sticking with Aeroplan. So, what does that mean?

McGill University — Tue, 16 May 2017 13:57:31 +0000

The last time WestJet��s pilots voted on unionization, only 45 per cent were in favour �� but times change.

Last Friday, 62 per cent voted to make the Air Line Pilots Association their bargaining agent, despite WestJet��s stance that being non-union represents a competitive advantage.

Public pressure, executive chairman resignation come among wider troubles for Bombardier

McGill University — Mon, 15 May 2017 18:15:10 +0000

Ballooning C Series costs, job losses and government cash all played into the recent investor revolt at Bombardier, but running underneath are other problems: The C Series is picking up steam after a slow start, but faces new hurdles in the form of complaints filed by Boeing.

Public outcry prompts Pierre Beaudoin to give up Bombardier executive role

McGill University — Mon, 15 May 2017 18:11:59 +0000

Public demonstrations and a shareholder revolt weren��t enough to keep Bombardier chairman Pierre Beaudoin from re-election, though he has stepped back from his former executive role.

Bombardier��s institutional investors by and large withheld support for Beaudoin and the executive pay raise, but Bombardier��s two-tiered share structure gives the founding family control; both measures passed easily.

For Quebecers, Bombardier��s shine has worn off

McGill University — Mon, 15 May 2017 17:53:16 +0000

By all accounts, Quebecers have had it with Bombardier, and they showed it during the company��s annual meeting last week. After months of bad news, culminating in government bailouts and 14,000 jobs hitting the chopping block, the word that top execs were getting an almost 50-per cent pay raise made many throw up their hands in disgust.

In response, the founding family doubled down on the executive compensation in the name of retailing top talent.

Bombardier annual meeting turns into crucible for CEO Pierre Beaudoin

McGill University — Fri, 12 May 2017 18:40:07 +0000

As late as Thursday morning, it was still not clear whether Pierre Beaudoin would be able to hang on as Chairman of Bombardier��s board of directors. Even though the founding family��s Class A shares give them over 50 percent of the voting power, the investor revolt that is currently raging is a clear indication that there is a real appetite for change.

Desautels Professor Karl Moore says that, though the board must pay attention to governance issues, Mr. Beaudoin is a valuable asset.

As the drama surrounding a Swedish bribery probe of Bombardier��s activities in Azerbaijan continues, it has become clear that the Caisse de d��p?t?et placement du Qu��bec, which owns 30 per cent of Bombardier��s rail division, won��t do business in the former Soviet Union due to high rates of corruption, a lack of transparency and myriad other problems �� including the Kremlin��s penchant for getting involved in some sectors.

When I was working at IBM in the 1980s, if anyone got emotional during a meeting, we��d stop the meeting and have coffee, until everyone calmed down. This seemed to happen whenever emotion ��reared its��ugly head��. Of course, there was plenty of emotion back then, but we undervalued it. Analysis was sovereign. Things are different today.

Opinion: Russia's Underachieving Economy

Yet after spending 11 days in Moscow and St. Petersburg in February and March, we came away with mixed feelings.

What LeBron James can teach us about being a game changer

McGill University — Wed, 12 Dec 2012 16:25:59 +0000

In professional basketball, the phrase ��game changer�� refers to a player who revolutionized how a position was played.

Russell, Chamberlain, and Jabbar redefined the role of the center, both offensively and defensively. Before them, the paint was an easier place to score baskets. When they made the art of the blocked shot look common, they changed the way the opposing offensive was run. Michael Jordan changed what the shooting guard position looked like.
