    Thanks - if that was the rationale, then AC should be (re-)nationalized. No private company should be allowed to become so essential to the functioning of our country.

      Especially if they show such negligence where they are willing to cause such economic disruption to avoid paying workers fairly.

      This whole charade where Air Canada is a “private company” definitely needs to come to an end. I totally agree, if it quacks likes a duck, and has a hotline to the government who will premeditatedly act in its favour, or bail out at the first hint of trouble, whelp that’s sounding like a government protected company to me too.

        Especially if that’s access the other airlines don’t have. Westjet has been on strike before and I don’t remember the feds stepping in.
