So after posting this, a phony @aircanada account contacted me and wanted all sorts of information, promising immediate compensation if I downloaded their third-party app. No thank you. So beware. Meanwhile, no response from the real @aircanada, if there is such a thing. Sheesh.
@AirCanada just canceled our 11:20 flight from ORD to YUL due to “crew constraints.” We are now booked on 18:50 flight, disrupting our connections, etc. What does “crew constraints” mean and is there compensation? Thanks.
