Don't know what the poster you're responding to wants, but I would just like AC and other airlines to take responsibility for the entirely previsible risk of irrops - pay compensation, get crew in, that should be their choice. Customer should not be responsible for AC's choice of crew plan

Again, I'm not the person you replied to, but I would like other governments to follow suit, then this question would be moot.

Agree with you on that part.
