I didn't think corporations could be this evil--or bold--until I read this article.
-Plenty of capital already
-Won't repay cancelled tickets (many legally required via US DOT and thousands were sold with AC never intending to operate all the flights)
unless government sues them
unless government pays them for the refunds
unless government pays them for the refunds PLUS substantial additional money. for, umm, reasons.
-With nothing offered in return. No airline equity.
They not only unafraid of government sanctions or legal ramifications. They are doubling down and telling the government to pay Air Canada.
//Competing airlines should run commercials showing people calling police in tears to report a theft of a family's yearlong savings. Have police show up in full force before cancelling the call... "false alarm, it's just Air Canada. Everyone knows we let them rob you blind and might even pay them for doing so."
