Airlines 2022 - Too Big to Care | The Knack Planet | Original Musical Documentary, copyright @ 2023

In the summer of 2022, I felt encouraged to travel from the USA to Europe by the good news that the air travel was back on track. Travel restrictions were lifted, proof-of-vaccination was not required anymore though masks were still a must. I've been a frequent international flyer for almost 30 years now and I always flew Delta, not knowing much about them other than that I found them reliable and price-competitive. This time around I ended up flying with Air Canada because their price was 1/3rd of Delta's price. A week before my scheduled take-off the e-mails started coming in. First, they changed my flight number, delaying my take-off by only two hours. Then they came back and change my flight from direct to a one-stop to a major hub. Going to Europe was worse than coming back. Every single flight was delayed by at least four hours. I ended up arriving at my destination about twelve hours later than initially planned. Of course, I had to reschedule my accommodations and inconvenience some hosts, I slept on a bench and had more meals than I planned for. Yet, I was happy to have been able to travel to two countries that year, and have visited with people whom I love.
When I returned, I filed a complain with Air Canada. They promised to get back to me in no more than 30 days. When 40-some days were I up I contacted them again and a week later I received a response. I am posting their response with my comments in the top-pinned comment, below.
During my delays I started writing a song and I almost forgot about it until the airlines started to be in the news again. So I updated the song, adding a few more lines and decided to make a documentary to explain to myself and to others what had happened and why what happened can't be totally blamed on the pandemic or the weather. Trying to keep it as short but yet document issues properly, I still ended up with about 20 min. I hope you find it entertaining as well as informative though and thank you for being a friend of this channel.
