tsylvester Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Category.... All I can do is shake my head... I've seen a lot of ridiculous lawsuits in my 53 years, this has to be near the top.. Despite a growing litany of complaints about air travel, passengers continue to pay for the convenience of flying.A recent complaint turned lawsuit, however, led to a windfall for two travelers -- not the airline.This week, the Federal Court ordered Air Canada to pay more than $15,000 ($21,000 CAD) and send formal apology letters to a French-speaking couple in Ottawa for repeated language equality violations.The lawsuit concerned more than 22 complaints that Michel and Lynda Thibodeau filed against the airline in 2016.The couple complained the word "lift" was engraved on seatbelts in English but not in French.https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/air-canada-french-language-lawsuit-trnd/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeshopper Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Read about this today. It's insane, the French Canadians. I'm surprised Air Canada hasn't banned them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we can sue a company we call here in the US that tells us to press one for english, then puts us on the phone with a Pakistanis who barely speaks english...
