Scott McCord may not be a household name in Canada, but in political Ottawa, he's considered a rock star for travel-weary Hill people. Known for his straight-up, gruff telephone style—'McCord. Call me.'—the travel giant has been both admired and trusted across party lines for a quarter century for organizing flights on short notice for MPs, Senators, ministers, and many more. The travel agent celebrated his company’s 25 years in business on April 15 with a crowd of about 400 people.

“It was almost like he was a rock star,' said Wisener, president of Jane & Co., who estimated McCord hadn't met half of the people in the room. 'They only speak to him on the phone. Nobody knew what he looked like in real life.” “There was such a cross section of Ottawa in the room. All their unique ties are that they were all connected with Scott,' she said. Even she has experienced the 'McCord Magic'—just last week, in fact.
