The cost from the APPR would escalate significantly if the proposed rules being discussed now come into effect. That cost and the cost recovery they're proposing would drive those markets to be not profitable at all. Actually, when the compensation is so high, there's a decision to just cancel the flight way out, rather than have it be late or unable to render services on time.
This is a domino effect. What they're proposing is that, if a flight is delayed somewhere, they're only allowing the second leg of that to be tolerated. Anything beyond that will be punishable. They don't understand how airlines function. The same plane will go to many different airports in one day. If it's delayed at airport one, it'll be delayed right through. We're just not getting comprehension from the regulator as far as that goes.
All of these things accumulated are not helping our northern carriers, because they work with many short legs in a day. These regulations are not adapted to them. It will drive costs up to the point where people will be saying that certain routes are not profitable, so they just can't do them anymore.
