AC8805 - BNA-YYZ Why cancelled Jan 2?
Email from AC said “crew constraints” was the reason so I would expect the new compensation amounts to be payable at $400 for a 4 plus hour delay. Anyone have access to any more specific reason for the Cancel?

Well, I figure the email with the reason is the record for the file so maybe this is one claim they’ll honour! Took screen shots of departure boards with other flights operating normally in YYZ and BNA even though BNA did have some showers.

Compensation? Why? Clearly not having enough crew/the right crew/a properly rested crew is a safety issue, and no compensation should be due.
(That was sarcasm, but my disdain for the A380-sized loophole those idiots in Ottawa left in the new passenger protection legislation doesn't allow me to denote that with a simple winking emoji, so please forgive me substituting this lengthy postscript instead)

Thanks for the delay info by the way. The passenger is also a 74 year old that needs wheelchair assistance so there will be some sympathy factors at play as well 
An airline with its stuff in order would compensate automatically in some way but we all know that’s just a technicolor dream for AC
