thanks CJB. I posted that mostly because as we all know, Air Canada was facing some economical difficulty a couple of months ago. I&#39;ve come across this piece of report somewhere on the internet and I thought it is worthwhile to share. <br><br>Oh well, sorry if you think it&#39;s a piece of crap.

The two sides are unable to agree on the issue of wage rollbacks. The union says the airline's proposal would cost $10,000 per worker, many of whom make between $35,000 and $49,000 per year. CAW president Buzz Hargrove insists his position will not sink the airline., G3 f, m* I1 E8 ~, G; d4 r7 v

Meanwhile, some of Air Canada's creditors ask a bankruptcy court to allow Cerberus Capital Management to make another bid for the troubled airline, saying its revised proposal seems to offer them a better deal than the Trinity Time Investments proposal Air Canada has chosen.
