There is no reason for AE to sell off their company since its so profitable and still growing. My previous post was just to say how diffcult it would be for AC to set up a new FF program if there was an end date to this agreement. Logistically, financially, and practically it doesn't make sense......which probably means it will happen. lol

just kidding

Aeroplan is an independently operated entity. Air Canada does not control nor influence how they choose to enhance their product.

Air Canada does control Aeroplan.

Aeroplan vice-president corporate strategy and business development Marc Trudeau says........

Quote:

Air Canada's influence is very significant. They haven't lost control

and it continues on to say

….but that didn't mean our intentions were to do anything in the interests of Aeroplan that was against Air Canada." [Marc]Trudeau says that "for the most part, nothing has changed.

AC wrote a very bad deal, however AP has had to lend AC money in the past when AC is desperate.

AC just blew all the money it got from AP when it was spun off.
