Gregory Polek has spent his entire career in aviation journalism with AIN, starting as a proofreader and assistant to then-managing editor Mary Mahoney in 1995 after serving an internship with&nbsp;New Jersey Monthly&nbsp;magazine and completing his B.A. degree in English/Writing at New Jersey’s William Paterson College. By 1997 Polek accepted a position as an associate editor, covering the regional airline beat for&nbsp;Aviation International News&nbsp;in place of retiring industry veteran Don Anderson. The assignment took Polek across North America and Europe to profile regional airlines varying in size and mission from the likes of floatplane operators Kenmore Air and Chalk’s Ocean Airways to regional jet operators such as SkyWest and American Eagle. Today, in his dual role as Air Transport Editor and International Airshow Editor, Polek writes, edits, and manages AIN’s commercial aviation content while overseeing each of the company’s daily international air show publications in Paris, Farnborough, Singapore, and Dubai. Most recently Polek has assumed oversight of daily coverage of the Helicopter Association International’s annual Heli-Expo convention.

Air Canada signed a new agreement with its wholly owned regional subsidiary, Air Canada Jazz, to adopt what it calls a capacity purchase model to replace the airlines’ existing revenue-sharing arrangement. The new code-share deal goes into effect August 1, when Air Canada Jazz begins accepting payments from its major partner on a per-flight basis. Under the new deal, Air Canada will assume responsibility for all scheduling, pricing and network planning, freeing its regional partner to concentrate on flight completion rates, on-time performance and cost containment.
Air Canada Jazz–composed of formerly independent regionals AirBC, Air Nova, Air Ontario and Canadian Regional Airlines–operated as Air Canada Regional until late March, when Air Canada changed its subsidiary’s name to mark the completion of a two-year consolidation process. Flying a fleet of 12 Fokker F28s, 10 BAe 146s, 54 de Havilland Dash 8-100s, 12 Dash 8-300s and five Beech 1900Ds, Air Canada Jazz in May introduced its first two Bombardier CRJ200s into scheduled service on routes from Toronto to Philadelphia, Indianapolis and Baltimore. &nbsp;
