I don't think I want them to be saved. I'm kinda Conservative in my approach to the airlines: leave them alone. Air Canada used to be a Crown corporation, and that was fine and dandy. But if the government wants them to be private, then it should let them be private. Air Canada has been screwing up, making poor management decisions, and wasting money, for *years*. If the feds step in and save them, they'll just keep doing it, like the last few times the government saved them.
Now if AC manages to rescue themselves, then that's fantastic. I really do like the fact that there's an international airline called "Air Canada," and that it's popular and high-quality (if not high-frills). I would miss that if they disappeared.
But CanJet, WestJet, JetsGo, and other charter players are all doing well and making smarter, smaller-scale decisions. I don't fear for my travelling life if AC disappears.

Air Canada will probably be saved.
