Crusader...do you not think that AC would really love to lower their costs by dropping benefits and salaries? I do! They've been trying to do it for years! Thanks to a little common sense it hasn't gone too far...yet...and yes, minimum wage would be the target any airline would like to pay a worker for maximum hours...some call it slave labour and some call it productivity...but you need to put a fact or two in your argument...the issue in this video is that the reporting is juvenile and lacks credibility...its a set up posing as journalism...no facts and plenty of inflammatory rhetoric! (Kinda like your posting.) AC has the same wish as EK...dominate markets, steal revenue and lower costs...they just have a different set of roadblocks to clear. Ask yourself why so many Canadian pilots ended up working for EK in the last 10 years? Is it because of a balanced and fair airline policy in Canada that allowed a forced merger between 2 major competitors and allowed a huge number of employees at other carriers to watch their employers struggle to match the predatory actions at AC? Eventually those airlines failed and hundreds of well qualified pilots were forced to either join AC at the bottom of a seniority list (care to start a career agian at 45?) or leave the country. Fair policy? AC wins at all costs...its an often repeated action that will keep lowering the bar for pilots in Canada for a long time...keeps the costs down for the airline doesn't it?
