With the lingering political undertones at Hydro One, I wonder why the airline would recruit someone like this. Were there political reasons associated with the federal government?
About twenty years ago I worked for a major supply to Ontario Hydro. At the time Ontario Hydro had a policy of getting the very best people by paying in the top 25% percentile. Fairly certain that increases cost, not certain it gets you better people. I thought AC was a mean employer. Perhaps its in the bottom 25% percentile. Not certain.
