The problem is that the respective governments will never let-go of these airlines, and good money (taxes!) will keep chasing bad money. Sad case. Ahmed, couldn't agree with you more on Air India and United. The problem is that the respective governments will never let-go of these airlines, and good money (taxes!) will keep chasing bad money.

But I see ACE (holding company) doing now is that they're trying to squeeze all the juice out of Air Canada, so that they can make more profits off Aeroplan, which was AirCanada's baby but now is worth more than the airline itself. And this is the danger I see going forward for the airline. Multiple govt. bailouts are no good for the airline and for the morale. What say? Hey Karla,

While air Canada hasn't really gotten it's head around the potential of different social media platforms, they have developed a rich, interactive content portal, enroute, that has a lot of growth potential. They also have a very good frequent flyer program. I think integration and stronger branding internationally could go a long way. Hey Shashank,
