Looks like we're getting another lawsuit on the value of a life.
How cheap are they today?
Cost to divert in the article was $900,000. So less than that.
That's not the actual number though, we'll find that out when this goes to court and they settle or lose.
If AC wins, then it's less than 900k
Wow, human lives used to be valued just over $1MM. Shrinkflation, I guess.
Eh, doesn't matter how expensive it is they'll just increase ticket prices. It's not like there's much competition or incentive for air Canada to improve things.
I'd wager less than the fundamental things required to sustain it.
Thatβs it. Nationalize Air Canada. We have had it with their self serving doctrine.
I think you mean renationalize ... Mulroney sold it off in '88 after deregulating airfares and letting airlines abandon uneconomic routes. And Ottawa bailed out AC during COVID, buying up almost 10% of the shares.
My guess is nationalization is on the table.
Canada would operate perfectly fine with nationalized airlines, telecoms, and O&G. These are established industries that don't need market effects to grow or remain profitable.
The only reason we don't is because we're fucking idiots beholden to capitalism.
Ah, I see the airline has moved on from simply degrading disabled people to murdering them. So much more efficient!
I did notice in this article they used a wheelchair to move them to the washroom. So maybe they learned for the last one? Or more likely just different kit for different flights.
No, that's the special murderchair they use for when they're gonna murder someone.
Don't forget the recent diarrhea flight
Ah, yes. All the way.
Next time just threaten to blow up the plane and pretend you have a bomb in your suitcase ready to blow if they don't land immediately.
They'll care so much about saving their property that they'll definitely land.
How can a shit-show like Air Canada operate like this for so long??
AND ALWAYS GET AWAY WITH IT???
Jesus Christ Air Canada is going hard for that cartoon villain status
See folks this is why we should continue to deregulate the market.
If he wanted to live, he should've bought a new heart before flying!
