Fair is have great results and cutting into the competition. The funny thing is though, Air Canada cares not at all about servicing our area other than through Pearson.
Neither Flair nor Air Canada care about serving our area, they care about exploiting a market, and Air Canada has found a niche that doesn't involve using our airport and Flair's niche does use our airport.
It's not true that AC has "government ties", but they have power over legislators. So maybe they push for rules like these because they benefit.
But it's also possible that they merely follow the rules and it is unfair to have to compete with someone who isn't following those rules.
And all that is entirely beside the point of whether the rules make sense or not.
