This is just another example of the disconnect this company now has with the public it serves. 

Air Canada once enjoyed the respect of its customers as Canada's "national airline"but years of thoughtless, selfish, corporately arrogant policies such as this one shows it has lost all touch with our collective values and traditions. 

Recognizing Canadian sacrifices at this time of year should be a priority for us all, whether we are on someone else's clock or our own.
