Air Canada CEO to Quit After Furor About Crash Condolence Video

Bloomberg Canada Reporter Derek Decloet discusses the decision of Air Canada's CEO to step down after a controversial English-only video statement about the deadly runway collision at LaGuardia. Air Canada Chief Executive Officer Michael Rousseau announced he’s leaving after creating a public relations fiasco with an English-language video about the deadly runway collision at LaGuardia Airport in New York. Rousseau, 68, will retire by the end of the third quarter, Air Canada said in a statement Monday morning. An Air Canada Express jet flew from Montreal to New York on March 22 and, after landing, collided with an airport fire truck, killing both pilots. Rousseau made a video statement in which he expressed his “deepest sorrow for everyone affected.” But the only words he spoke in French were “bonjour” at the beginning and “merci” at the end. French subtitles were provided.  (Source: Bloomberg)
