CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thursday, June 23, 1960 Serious Charges Against TCA Should A serious charge that TCA has adopt- ed a strategy of “fantastic and deliberate over-expansion of equipment” to frustrate competition by courting substantial losses was made recently by CPA president Grant McConachie, speaking at the annual dinner of the Alberta Chamber of Commerce. Mr. McConachie’s charge is not one that should be allowed to pass without comment by the federal minister of trans- port. Either Mr. McConachie’s charge should be proven false or the government should heed Mr. McConachie’s recommen- dations. In his-speech the CPA president re- called that during the Air Transport Board hearing of the application for competitive air service, TCA had stated flatly that its expansion plans would remain rigid, re- gardless of competition, even though it meant flying, empty planes. “This stubborn refusal to recognize the new government ‘policy of competition and to adjust accordingly has been ex- pressed in an increase of orders for DC-8’s by 66 per cent and vanguarae by 20 per cent since the int petition Apparently they are out to aoe the gov- ernment policy. wrong, at whatever cost to the taxpayer,” charged Mr. McConachie. As part of the solution, the CPA head urged that jurisdiction of the Air Trans- port Board cover TCA as well as the ‘rest of the industry and that'a policy of ‘“vi- gorous but sane competition” be developed. Such a policy is being established in Bri- tain under an Air Board which has juris- diction over the government airline as well as private’ ones. In Canada the Board’ of Transport Commissioners has jurisdic- tion over the CNR-as well as the OPR and more recently the government has brought be Answered the CBC, along with private stations, un- der the jurisdiction of a board. Mr. McConachie went on to say that private enterprise airlines “certainly do not ask for any favors or special conces- sions, We have.never asked for or accepted one cent of government subsidy in the it of our ive route pat- tern. All we ask for is.a fair opportunity to compete on even terms.” Private enterprise in Canadian avia- tion was responsiblé for developing all of northern Canada without a cent of subsidy and has an enviable record. In some res- pects the private company is much better in the tional field in that i it is free to venture, to explore and to risk its capital while a government corporation is quite properly more inclined to play a cautious game. An example of this is CPA’s polar route which the government airline did not feel was feasible and which was an in- stant success.
