BS. AC was only mainline full service carrier to respond to low cost competition by forming directly competitive service. All the others continued to discount fares while not trimming costs. What the hell do you think TANGO and ZIP are if not alternate models to the broken one. Why has AC scaled back mainline, added economy seats and remove J long before any other airlines have.
What does it take for you guys to see! The reason AC remained in the fiscal loss column was because the Canadian market continued to deteriorate and more LCCs came into the market to eat away at AC mainline.
Again, I challenge any of you to come up with another response. I have yet to read it here. Nothing but carping at the only major to have taken serious action to address the new reality!
