Air Canada was profitable before they bought over...dam, don't remember
their name. But it was canada's international flyer. They bought them with
billions of debt...and never recovered from it.

The canadian air biz'ness'es whine cuz the US subsidizes their air industry
( to a point) and we don't in Canada....but dam if we don't give them 'bail
out' money!
Wait until the domestic airspaces open up and we get the american liners up
here! AC will be out of business right away!

Forced buy out thanks to the Liberals

Aside from CAIL getting billions and billions in bail out money no other
airline has, don't even think jetsgo will, but it was Michel LeBlanc;s
fourth or fifth airline he has put under.

Never happen, cause all the other airlines would be out as well. Besides
'mericans don't want to allow Canadian carriers flying from US city to US
city carrying passengers.

Typical Canadian-style *corporate* *welfare* bums just like Bombardier
and all the other "free" enterprise losers with their hands out. I
don't even want to get started on all the French-Canadian
advertising-company/Liberal thieves.

If a down-on-his-luck guy takes government money (usually a few hundred
bucks), everybody calls him a bum. If a corporation takes money
(usually in the millions) from the same government, their taxpaying
stockholders are delighted. They don't see the sameness of those
handouts and that it ALL comes from the same pockets.

Don't forget that, even with the debts, it gave AC a monopoly and
Milton and his fellow arseholes still couldn't make money. How do
losers like him keep their jobs? Wasn't he actually named the Financial
Post's Man-of-the-Year a while back? Now that's funny!

Canadian airways couldn't survive in the US anyhow. The dollar is the
disadvantage and I'm sure they'd but some 'international carrier' taxes on
it....
Who knows....ticket prices are going up now anyhow!

Most international carrier agreements are bilateral in nature. If US
carriers get access to certain routes in Canada, then Canadian carriers (if
there are any left) will have access to similar US routes.

A good part of the reason for Canadian Airline's demise and Air Canada's
continuation is due to preferential treatment of route allotments to Air
Canada, as well as the Canadian government forgiving almost half a billion
dollars in Air Canada debt. In spite of Air Canada's whining about
profitability and market conditions, by far their biggest problem is simply
bad management.
