See above for a [email protected] article/comment section on this topic.

Air Canada is well known for the "how can we give less service for more money" mindset, and every other Canadian airline is better (WestJet is trying to compete for last place though).

If you use chatbots as your customer support agents, then you have to be responsible for any reasonable decision it makes. If you didn't "train it" properly like you would a new hire then that's on you.
