Air Canada has been doing quite well since the restructure. They just handed out $300 mill to their shareholders. There's $$$ in the bank and all indications at this point look to a very promissing future, outdoing any other airline in N. America. I could go on but I think you get the message. As for taxpayers picking the tab, they haven't had to do so since privatization in the late 80s. You must be thinking of that other airline that whent bankrupt and was bought by AC. The billions required to purchase the new aircraft are coming mainly from outside Canada. Very reputable financial institutions who are NOT in the business of losing money. Your knowledge and opinions of the Air Canada current and past hold no water. Another waste of our time on this forum.
