I say we stop subsidizing Air Canada with bailouts and simply seize the airline and make it a crown corporation. Then we can pay the flight attendants a decent wage for hours worked.

What makes you think the flight attendants would be adequately paid if they worked for the government? Public sector workers are constantly complaining about being underpaid and overworked. If the government felt they needed to step in and make things right with wages there are probably easier ways of doing that instead rationalizing the company. Aviation workers are federally regulated so the government can establish whatever minimum wage they feel is fair and adequate.
