Compared to AC's situations over the past 20 years I'd figure these are the easiest times:

- Canadian Airlines
- Onex
- 2003 bankruptcy protection

- fuel prices plummet and AC isn't hedged
- 787 comes long with better economics
- US dollar strength
- Westjet is nothing compared to what Canadian was


These lists are probably WAY longer.
Yes, and add lengthy labour agreements now in place to that list which has created a certain amount of corporate turbulence for CEO's in the past.
