Sleazy,
I don't understand why your bitching...again.
So, a few employees are the flight...are they not aloud to go on vacation?? They have to fly stand-by and if the plane is full with only a few remaining open seats they get placed in them, being buisness class (Air Canada doesn't have first class, they may on 747's) or coach. Employees also don't fly for free...they get a crazy discount but it's not free, they pay by the kilometre and the taxes which is then automatically pay roll deducted.
Air Canada is surely a Monopoly and is having major finacial problems but the government will never shut down (the only) a national carrier.
The only thing I can understand why you'd be mad is the part when you said you arrived late to the flight because of customs (not the airlines fault) and they gave your seat away, if it happened like that. You have the right to find out if there are any employees in buisness class and you can bump them to the back of the plane.
All said in done, suck it up and quite your bitchin'.
