Of course it doesnt fix or address in any way the fact that only ~half of AC's flights are on time.
The original draft was fairly good as it had incorporated a lot of requirements from EU and other countries but it got watered down to the virtually nothing. The airlines are not responsible for anything these days. If they have no aircraft, no crew no bags nothing is their responsibility anymore.
Could anyone please give me an instance where they have cancelled a flight and they have put the passengers on another carrier? I have not heard of it at all and I have seen passengers being upset in the airport because they were not able to fly while the other airlines had space and they had to either buy a ticket on their own and fly or wait a couple of days at a hotel on their own expense.
