Air Canada is not an essential service. If they went bankrupt and ceased operations tomorrow, other airlines would fill the void.

No they wouldn't because they aren't allowed to. Rather, we would be taking the Greyhound instead of flying on the regional carriers and connecting in the US for many international flights. There are plenty of communities that cannot support West Jet's 737 service.

Air Canada seems to be the only domestic carrier that's begging for money.

C3K and Air Transat also need money.
