If they do get a subsidy you know they'll turn around and launch an ad campaign about how they are investing in a green revolution. Then they'll raise fares.

Then a while later they'll revert, say it's infeasible, keep the money then pay a dividend.

And if they don't get one, they'll use it as an excuse to raise ticket prices with impunity.

2 years ago, I'd only expect this of the other carrier.

Since they were bought by private equity I would say they are probably worse than Air Canada - although I haven't flown with AC in ages, so it's hard to compare.
