Get over it already. 10x the population, entirely different travel market, entirely different funding model as far as transportation, taxes, etc go, and massively financed operations that are hugely reliant on ancillary (card / ff) spend.

Meanwhile, you're asking for a massive raise from the Greyhound Air of Canada expecting they can pay Delta wages.

They aren't even part of an alliance or have any sort of semblance of a reasonable FF program that drives customers to take its flights.

You want to make US wages? Operate and pilot your airline like a top tier airline, not a bottom feeder. Even AC has you beat now and is crushing you on the business segment.
You must have the single greatest life of anyone I have ever met. Because, if you really have nothing else to do in life but complain about something that has no effect on your life at all, then you have absolutely nothing going on in your own life. Congratulations on living problem free.

Either that or, you have a serious personality disorder which causes you to be so fully consumed by the very idea other people, who are strangers to you, may improve their lives or possibly make more money than you do. So maybe you have the saddest life of anyone I know.
