I would personally not touch AC stock due to the looming recession concerns because it can be so volatile with any headline news.

AC's second quarter is going to be really interesting. Delta had a 16% margin in the second quarter with billions in profit. Recognising the markets are very different, AC's share price is going to be interesting to watch depending on the quarterly result.

Looking at how AC is performing and the available seat on the last few flights (definitely with 100% full on RT from YYZ to YVR / RT YYZ to MUN / RT YYZ TO MCO). I dont know if I was just unlucky but AC seems to be doing well.. more planes than precovid and planes more full! I think it should hit 30 by next reporting

I am not gonna invest in AC anytime soon. I prefer to invest in stocks that are likely to yield 7-10% a year for the next 10-20 years, which I have only found less than a handful so far.
Whenever I feel like I want to travel more on AC, I will consider investing in AC again, just like the early 2010s.

I just bought some shares and I’ll tell you why.
Yet you’re all still here.
A company doesn’t strive to provide terrible service but rather this becomes a by product of an overloaded system.
The fact there are so many complaints means there are high load factors and checking this over past few months I’ve seen most flights are practically full. Even with AC charging above market rates vs united/delta etc. they’re still getting decent loads.
- flights delayed
- flights cancelled
- baggage lost
- catering not showing up
- service sucks
- long waits
- Denying compensation

I have been lucky, I have not encountered any of the above besides the flights being 100% full. However all of my flights thus far have been J class Transatlantic and Transpacific and I don't check in any luggage... I have one more TransPacific trip to go, I think I just jinxed it, hahaha!.

If you want to know profitability, you read last quarters report. If you want to predict the future, load factors is one of the top KPIs to inform bets on future profitability.

Agree, another Key metric to note in full service airlines is how full business class is. That is their bread and butter.
