This is a brilliant move by AIR CANADA. They just acknowledged that they are buying AIR TRANSAT. That means they are purchasing one of their major Caribbean competitors. That means AIR CANADA gets new routes, destinations for AC Holidays, new equipment, trained staff is always hard to find. If this deal goes through it will create jobs contrary to the paranoia outbreak. It will mean more destinations in the United States and Europe. The only potential problem might occur with the unions. That's normal in a major sale.
