I'm sure other industries would love to be able to act in this same manner. I should start a restaurant and save on costs by using expired food and not cleaning the kitchen, because consumers always want lower prices. At some point, the government needs to step in and implement regulations. Unfortunately, this won't happen in Canada. What's likely to happen is that the US will implement regulations, and Canadian airlines will have to follow.
