Air Canada is slashing six major routes out of Calgary this winter, in part due to an industry-wide pilot shortage that the carrier says threatens its “overall operational stability.”

The country’s biggest airline confirmed Wednesday it will no longer offer non-stop flights from Calgary to Ottawa, Halifax, Los Angeles, Honolulu, Cancun, or Frankfurt as of the end of October due to ongoing fleet and crew constraints.

    Well, in light of massive profits, I guess cutting routes is an effective last-ditch effort to save money instead of offering competitive pilot salaries to actually get new staff.

    Don’t ever change, Air Canada. Actually being adequate would upset every opinion we’ve built and seen reinforced consistently for decades.
