Raising base fares to offset YQ - not raising fares.

In the end they get the same money.

The only benefit is that booking QF awards now with miles got significantly cheaper.

Canadian airfares may not become cheaper anytime soon, despite tumbling oil prices. One airliner blames the lower loonie, saying the currency has had an 'unfavourable impact' on costs to Canadian carriers.

Air Canada (AC.TO -1.00%) tells BNN the recent “relative decline in the Canadian dollar has had an unfavourable impact on the real cost of fuel to Canadian carriers,” since airline fuel is purchased in U.S. dollars.
lol, who comes up with these lies? Like, I mean, put some thought into your spin, dont make is so obviously insulting people's intelligence.
