Actually, CBC online is reporting that $160 million will be provided to AC almost immediately relating to the grounding of all flights from September 11 - 13/14. This to me seems fair given the events that were out of AC control. It is the 3-4 billion amount that makes my jaw drop and wonder just what AC management have been smoking.

BTW, I am still smiling over an article in the National Post this morning which talked about the way AC MLL employees in YYZ T2 treated 2 cabinet ministers and Aline Chretien at closing time the other evening. It's nice to see that we're all considered equal FFs!
