It's still delayed daily ... if it wasn't for the delays, I would book this flight as the (non-delayed) time is perfect for me... I used to take this flight a lot, and it was always on time before

Seems like AC are short of metal for this particular flight. Each day with a delayed flight, the incoming plane arrives from a long haul mission 1 - 2 hours before AC739 departure time (not enough time for a turnaround).
I hope AC will find a solution to this ASAP because 34% on-time rate is scandalous.

? AC does not have enough financial penalties to care. Bring in EU regulations.

Update: Made a complaint (via e-mail) to attempt to get hotel and layover costs reimbursed. Didn't really think I would get anything but they sent me a $300 eCoupon. Covers my costs for hotels, and etc... But requires me to purchase an Air Canada ticket :/

On the other hand, looks like OTP has improved!
