Air Canada hasn't always been this bad but in the last few years I'm currently embarrassed they are our national flag carrier.
Canada really needs to force them to change their name
I bet to differ. We've gone with the other carrier whenever we can because AC has been just so comically bad and apathetic since almost the 1900s (and I love saying it like that).
But, once a year when #reasons dictate, we buck up and fly AC ... and then we reaffirm our fleeting vow to never again.
This is just one of the many situations when I dearly wish to be proved wrong. But, it's like a sergeant once said: "Don't change, [soldier]; I've a BET riding on you!"
I used to fly them a lot and for international travel and I thought they were passable. Comparable to other options.
The domestic stuff was sometimes served a lot better by WestJet but even they were quite scrappy. Domestic is hard, European carriers do that a lot better.
But post-pandemic even their international stuff is an embarrassment. And among my colleagues (worldwide team) they've noticed too!
