Air Canada is subject to the Official Languages Act.

Air Canada's CEO has lived in Montréal for 20 years.

Air Canada's CEO promised to learn French 5 years ago.

Air Canada's CEO makes over 10 millions CAD every year.

Air Canada's linguistic plan says: "We also promote and advocate for the use of English and French in the workplace.
Our organization has language obligations, and supporting our efforts to be accountable to and meet these obligations are our employees who seize language training opportunities. Air Canada has developed and continues to grow a robust repository of resources and tools to champion language learning for our employees."

@stephanie meanwhile on every flight in Canada, there must be at least one attendant that speaks French, (and at least one English) not that language and service is a priority with Air Canada... its profit and shareholders?

But the CEO can't do the work expected of its employees.

@pinhman @stephanie technically yes, but I’ve been on many flights to and from Montreal where not a single steward could understand me requesting something like a bag of chips

@bougiewonderland @pinhman oh interesting. But then I always speak English during flights, so I might not have noticed. Especially Air Canada because they have the security videos prerecorded

@stephanie @pinhman I always speak French on principle. I don’t want to give them any reason to say “well, we don’t need anyone to speak French anymore because everyone speak in English anyway”!
