AC's done some questionable stuff this year, no two ways about that, but I'm curious how you're able to ascribe sinister motive to what appears on its face to be a simple question of "empty planes hemorrhage money, we can't afford to fly these routes right now".
We know the most-profitable trunk routes have massively-reduced demand right now, so what's different about a destination like Sydney, whose peak-season demand is a CR9 and two Dashes?
You dont think it isnt naive to think that this is anything but a calculated move?
They could have cancelled these flights weeks/months ago, when the planes were just as empty and just as non-profitable. But they waited, and can now use this a chip in bailout negotiations
