No, I don't think so.
Air Canada is an international airline that already participates in systems that are similar to what I've just described to Mr. Leitão, in other parts of the world, including the United Kingdom and Germany. The airline would therefore have been familiar with how this system works.
I welcome the fact that Air Canada looked for solutions to protect its reputation and ensure disputes are handled in a timely manner. Obviously, no information was shared with Air Canada.
