I agree with you completly Willie But I don't think airlines fom up here could survive the competion from the rest of the world even if we get a chance to go play on there turf. Our economy is just not strong enough. Our country would be left without an airlines of it's own. Let's face the facts all the other airlines out there are only intersted in the big centers (YYZ,YVR,YUL,YYC). Keeping bisness to companies within is not a bad thing. We need to provide employment to our people before we give work to the rest of the world. I think AC's attitude is a bit too agressive but at least they are employing canadians...
