Guest rattler Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 The press says No one from Air Canada was immediately available to comment leaving one the impression that the fault was AirCanada's Of course since AC doesn't operate from Amsterdam (codeshare only according to their schedules) and the ticket was booked through a Dutch Travel Agency, it would appear that the error had nothing to do with AirCanada.

conehead Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 The media is always spring-loaded to blame Air Canada for everything. They will not let the facts get in the way of a story... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I agree with Rich. I think it's the Air Canada employees that are spring-loaded to blaming Air Canada! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeker Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Maybe my rose-coloured glasses are a bit foggy, but I didn't see anything in this story that in any way assigns blame to Air Canada. Air Canada is not specifically blamed for the error but the the phrase; "No one from XXX was immediately available to comment" is typically used to suggest that the company in question is responsible. A quick read of the story could easily leave the impression that AC is at fault. I'm sure you'd agree that the level of reading comprehension in this little corner of the interweb is probably higher than the average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
