I would not say that Montrealers are a major customer base for AC. Most of their traffi is YYZ/YVR based and they heavily depends on international connecting traffic. AC could care less what Quebecers/Montrealers think of the CEO not speaking French.

Are they now going to fly with WestJet which is YYC based and basically anglophone. Typical Quebecers....creating a language issue when there isnt one. Since when do CEO of private companies need to be bilingual??
