Mgjor airlines link up
with regional carriers

WINNIPEG (CP) — Major
airlines are seeking alliances
with smaller carriers serving
remote communities in Man
itoba and Saskatchewan in an
effort to cut costs, industry
spokesmen say.

Until recently, the two
provinees were the only re.
gions left where jet airlines
have not forged business
partnerships with companies
that provide turbo-prop or
piston-engine service.

Last week Canadian Paci
fie Air Lines announced that
it had acquired 25 per cent of

and Winnipeg later this year.

Under the deals being
sought, the large airlines
want to stop costly jet ser.
viee into centres where pass-
enger traffic is not heavy
enough to make the service
viable.

Rather than abandon those
markets, however, the major
airlines have sought to hang
on by providing non-jet ser-
vice through a subsidiary or

through a partner.

“For at least the past two
years we've been talking to
the majors with a view to
wards getting into a feeder,
system relationship,” said
Ken Gregg, vice-president of
finance for Perimeter Air
lines Ltd. of Winnipeg.

The most favored partners
have been those with rev-
enues of $20 million annually
or less.

Gregg’s company provides
regularly scheduled air ser-
vice to Dauphin, Cross Lake
and Norway House in nor-
thern Manitoba and Red
Lake, Ont., and Yorkton,
Sask.

Most other regions of the
country have already been
carved up between major
airlines agg their turbo-prop
allies, said Peter Schnobb, a
spokesman for the Canadian
Transport Commission.

In British Columbia, Can-
adian Pacific Air Lines came
to an agreement with B.C.
Air several years ago. The
smaller airline now carries
Canadian Pacific's logo on its
planes and ‘ickets.

House sales rise

TORONTO (CP) — House
buying fever seems to be
catching on this spring as
mortgage rates stay at reas.
onable levels.

On a national basis, house
sales are expected to in-
crease eight per cent and
prices six per cent to average
$86,000 this year, says the
latest forecast by Royal Le.
Page Residential Real Estate
Services.

“Our earlier ‘guesstimates’
have been overtaken,” with
strong demand and lower in
terest rates building market
momentum, said David Hig-
gins, vice-president and div-
isional general manager for
Royal LePage.

Strong demand and a shor-
tage of listings in January
and February drove up
prices. But an increase in the
number of new listings has
helped to restore greater
balance to the market, Hig-
gins said.

New listings 2ormally in
crease substantially from
March through June, to meet
rising demand in the spring.

PULP WORKERS
REJECT PACT

POWELL RIVER (CP) —
Members of Local 76, Can-
adian Paper workers Union,
have rejected a tentative
agreement reached earlier
this month with the pulp and
paper industry.

The 1,350 workers voted
58 per cent against the two-
year deal which would give
them no pay raise in the first
year and 40 cents an hour in
the second year.

Despite the narrow rejec-
tion, local president Terry
Skilbeck said he expects the
offer will, be accepted in
provincewide voting, expec-
ted to be completed by April
28.

The pulp and paper indus-
try reached a _ tentative
agreement on master con-
tracts with its two major
unions on April 6 — almost
three months before the cur-
rent contracts expire.

Both the CPU and the
Pulp, Paper and Woodwork-
ers of Canada said they
would recommend accept-
ance of the offer to their
members. The contracts
cover almost 13,000 workers
at 13 mills.

If the contracts are rat-
ified, it would be only the
second time in the past eight
rounds of bargaining that
settlements have been reach-
ed without a strike or lock-
out.

The current contracts ex-
pire June 30.

The companies have been
struggling because of de-
pressed pulp prices and the
high value of the Canadian
dollar against European cur
rencies. Workers have ex

ienced income cuts as the
mills used down time to trim
inventories.

One possible alliance would
involve Calm Air, a Thomp-
