Poor them.
My money is on everyone sleeping soundly tonight at AC and WS.

As for shareholders, I think some other big event may have happened, maybe in the UK. It may have impacted the the stock market in general. I hold no airline shares but saw some drops today myself across a broad spectrum of companies. Call me crazy but I don't think we can contribute the "nosedive" on AC stock today entirely to a new airline.
