C'mon.... you're only getting part of the story...

ACA took this kids wheelchair apart for shipping, and then was unable to put it back together again on the other side. And wouldn't tell the family how long they were going to be without it. Poor kid was in NY for a charity fundraiser to raise money to upgrade his house so that he could die at home.

ACA dropped the ball on this one entirely. And only when the media caught wind of it and it started to explode did they do anything about it.

What would be "Good for Air Canada," is bankruptcy.

Family disputed Air Canada account

Peter Fitzpatrick, a spokesman for Air Canada, said in an email to CBC News that Air Canada had "immediately" sent the broken chair out for repairs.

"We also supplied a manual wheelchair and later in the evening an electric wheelchair for his use in the interim.

"Once we learned the replacement chair was inadequate, we got in contact with the family to see what we could do for them. Because the chair is custom-made, it is difficult to get it repaired or replaced quickly, but we are doing all we can."

The Bawn camp quickly disputed that account.

Stratten said the Air Canada response has "so many lies it's not even funny.

"They did not send an electric wheelchair last night, there was one sitting in the lobby this morning that was not adequate. We were never told it was there," he said in an email. "They never called to say it, they never called after hearing it was inadequate and the replacement that just got here is a scooter people use to go shopping, and is worse than the first."

PTO, do you have the guts to post the name of your Company? I would like to know who to bypass with my hard earned AC dollars in the future...

Go on, you can do it.

I had a feeling that you were a civil servant, albeit, and indirect one. So here we have an individual in the public service calling for the demise of a private sector company... One that ostensibly pays half of your salary. Perhaps ,you should practice what you preach and engage in some customer care. I can guarantee you, that without AC, a lot of ATC would be redundant.

PTO,

You still haven't answered the question. What year did you get PFO'd from Air Canada?
