Adding nearly a billion dollars in shares. Stock price could take a 10 percent hit this morning.

Sounds like the government wanted them to do something they didn't want to do to get their bailout.

This is a plan pending approval, there should be a corresponding dip in share value if they actually sell the extra shares and bring in some more cash. However, the hope here is of a good rebound to its previous price after the cash is collected.

Air Canada is showing their hand now after trying to rally for bailouts from the government and getting very little. They just have to do like the rest of us now and make moves to get by. They want to be first in line for the inevitable rush of traffic when restrictions are lifted on a global level. I predict the rush will be of "unprecedented" levels and they'll be able to recoup these losses and then some.
