OP,
Just like a bunch of spoiled bloody babies. Also very typical of the culture - use of a bully tactic to get what they want.
Are you talking about Air Canada?
Let's have a crap carrier and try to protect it rather than offer open skies and allow the travelling public the service they deserve. The sooner the world goes open the quicker the public gets the best deal and we get rid of the protected legacies that have been dragging the industry down.
