    This approach makes more sense to me than trying to ban the American flights in a tit for tat battle.

    That is the most screwed up thing I've heard yet! They should be able to charter whoever-the-hell they want! They are still paying airport fees and buying jet fuel! I can't wait for the 2012 elections!

    It is wreaking havoc on the hockey season, may damage the National Basketball Association season, and exposes Air Canada to claims from its customers," the airline said in court documents filed Wednesday. "Air Canada seeks a declaration vacating this directive and requests relief in time to salvage at least part of the upcoming sports season."


    What Air Canada has had is relief from the cabotage prohibition. It stands accused of abusing that relief by carrying passengers (other than team players) between two US points; as a result the relief has been terminated. Nowhere have I seen that Air Canada denies it the accusation. Rather than engaging in a lengthy lawsuit why doesn't AC just act in accordance with the rules?

    If that is true Iam sure they would not waste their money unless there is no proof of the charge you make .
