Should he speak decent French after 14 years in Montreal? Yes, and frankly I’d feel pretty embarrassed if I wasn’t able to answer such basic questions in French. Does that impact his role in any way whatsoever? No, it doesn’t. It only impacts his personal life and has nothing to do with AC. He is not in a customer facing role. This is like getting mad at a YUL baggage handler for his lack of English comprehension. This reminds me of the Franco-Ontarien couple that IIRC sued AC for their exit signs/Pepsi cans/whatever. Speaking both languages would be ideal, but going off on someone for not being able to do so is zealoted and obsessive.

And for the idiots boycotting AC, who are they going to fly with? TS? Westjet, the Calgary-based airline that oh-so-perfectly represents their firm beliefs? Ridiculous.
