This is going to be a contentious issue, for sure.

There needs to be some protection for the pilots who operate aeroplanes here at home. Some sign of a positive future.

There also needs to be an answer to the competition aspect of the industry within Canada. Management at any of the 'presently in business' airlines need to be sensible and operate as though their life depended on it. As AIRLIFT points out, we don't have the population or traffic centres to justify the number of airlines Ottawa imagines.

As much as I dislike AC, the restrictions and restraints they are assigning Air Canada don't make an ounce of sense. AC should be allowed to compete.

Don't we live in a capitalist society where it's all about competition and free market influence?

Beddoes of WJ says that ACs matching of fares is unfair, predatory, and are using its size to run the competition out of business. Unbelievable!
