Its still a choice. You do have other options. Really. There is a whole other world of airlines out there.
So yes, I agree with the apologists that say vote with your wallet/if you dont like it leave.
And be prepared that if you whine on this forum, you will be ambushed by the handful of people with vested interest in AC, whether it be by having personal relationships with management, owning AC stock, or just weird blind cultlike loyalty to AC.
I MUST fly to Barbados since I cannot drive or ferry there from Canada

I own timeshare that I like to use at end of year and/or February annually. I have purchased Z fares often on this route as well as a few visits to GND.Flying ex YSB to YYZ,my preference is AC for same terminal/day flights to Bridgetown and back home.Stopping at NYC,MIA or other US city is of little to no interest.
Rouge is now my choice. Will I like Rouge,from what everyone here is suggesting,not likely. Do I like Barbados,absolutely. Many Canadians just want out of winter and will get on just about any carrier to do so.
