Um...CBC....summer is almost over. Haven't you checked a calendar? Ok...maybe we can start with pie shapes....

Just had a horrendous experience with Air Canada again so good luck I will never be using them again, ever!!!!!

They figured this out all by themselves

CBC... why are people who received fines for not filling out ArriveCan getting notices that they WONT be prosecuted. Has ANYONE actually paid the fine or been prosecuted for not paying?

If they cut it back to 20 percent, they might get the job done.

79% of capacity, but struggling to meet strong demand? Not make sense.

Can you imagine an airline that cares about its customers? No, you can’t.

Communist Airlines Better off taking a mule

So they don't have enough employees to get the job done but it's all the feds fault .

Air Canada is lucky to be operating at 1 percent after a horrendous year of bad service. Literally any other airline is better. I’ve witnessed this.
