It may be wishful thinking, but I think AC should take notice.
It may be losing some business to VIA, especially when it offers its own promotion fares. For example, when VIA had a special 75% off Ottawa-Toronto sale a few weeks ago, the business class fare (incl. HST) was less expensive than the tango (not tango plus) fare (including all fees and taxes). My wife and I took the VIA option, rather than the AC option.
