We bailed on our Alaska cruise and booked MX for September instead. Interesting we have to go YYJ to Calgary then dog leg to the Mayan/Cancun and the same on the return flight, it seems Cancun flights out of Vancouver are frequently cancelled by the airlines on that route at that time due to it being hurricane season. Not sure the airlines see significant drop in passenger volumes out of YVR at that time or if it has more to do with the type of (larger?) aircraft flying out of Vancouver at that time. Per our TA they are far less likely to cancel the 737/MAX's out of Calgary. Ah well c'est la vie......

WJA or Onex corp, selling off parts of the airline for investments, never thought a Canadian airline would be partly owned by a US carrier.

American Airlines had a pretty large stake in Canadian Airlines back in the day.

In Canada, airline ownership rules are designed to ensure a significant degree of Canadian control and prevent undue foreign influence. To be considered a Canadian airline, a company must be incorporated in Canada and have at least 51% of its voting interests owned and controlled by Canadians, as outlined in the Canada Transportation Act (CTA). Additionally, no single foreign entity (including foreign air carriers) can own or control more than 25% of the voting interests, directly or indirectly.

You're right, forgot, my brother-in-law flew for Canadi>n airlines and got sucked into AC, lost all seniority and had to learn AirBus after years of 767 and DC-10 days
