Circumstances that I called out before have come to light - failure of the Regulator, and now we need to hear from Air Canada on their due diligence failures in purchasing this product.
And for those who disagree, go back in this thread where the idea Regulator was NOT at fault was routinely promoted.
Air Canada come clean and explain your failure here - this will be vitally needed to re-build confidence (but since when does AC take responsibility for much)
Suggesting that AC didn't do its due diligence on the handling characteristics of an airplane is about the most absurd thing I have heard about this so far. Airplanes are not certified to go into service by airlines - that responsibility falls to Transport Canada (and the FAA amongst others). To suggest that there is failure anywhere other then with them is akin to suggesting that if the brakes fail on your car that you didn't do your due diligence in evaluating the entire braking system of the vehicle.
