Speaking from the perspective of someone whos immediate family works at AC, there's a reason the staff are so miserable all the time and there's such horrible service. AC is a horribly run company and all the employees know it.

Ever since AC took over Canadian airlines, its never been quite the same. Company went into chapter 11 for a bit and had to restructure this lead to pay cuts and freezes that have lasted for eight years... and even with the some increases lately, the pay increases have not really been enough to cover inflation. Basically there have been no pay increases for almost 8ish years now? Also, parts of the company like ACTS are being outsourced to Aveo and people are being forced to take layoffs or transfer to Aveo or relocating to bases far outside your home city?

This is all while the CEOes have taken huge bonuses... I believe Kevin Benson or one of his successors took hundreds of millions of bonuses in the year that hundreds of employees got laid off. The sum of his bonuses alone (let alone the board) would have more than covered the layoffs. All this coupled with the fact AC keeps on cutting flights and shrinking their business makes a lot of AC employees very depressed.
