But it's not illegal.

Furthermore, it's in the fine print. AC is doing what they are entitled to do and you agree to it when you buy the ticket.

I would hope there's a legal argument in here. I'm quite certain there's a moral argument to be made. But I'm not sure there's any legal recourse so what can your MP actually do, other than try to force a Canadian corporation to rewrite their contracts (the Terms of Carriage)?
Maybe the only way is an endless series of media stories and not just on the CBC. Gary Leff at VFTW was happy to rant about it. Those blogs (useful or otherwise) are read by many people especially the U.S. where AC is trying to win more business.
