Let Air Canada compete fairly within Canada....when AC was privatized itwas and continues to be handcuffed by the Canadian Government under its ACPPA...Air Canada Public Participation Act which mandates that AC has to keep its HQ in Montreal ( the highest tax base in Canada ), and keep maintenance bases in YUL, YYZ and YWG...

it is also more restricted under the official languages act than the other Canadian Carriers...reference the idiot that keeps sueing AC for not being ser ved his beverage in the French language...

so, instead of bashing AC, you should be lobbying the Canadian Government to release AC from the ACPPA and let them compete fairly, then we will really see what costs could be shaved.....and who will really become competitive

do u know that any correspondence within AC , bulletins, manuals, etc...that is written in english has to be translated to French....
