"Michael Rousseau shared condolences with the victims' families in a video published last Monday, but was quickly condemned for delivering the subtitled message almost entirely in English."
"The plane departed from Montreal and collided with a fire truck upon landing at LaGuardia airport in New York, killing two pilots and injuring dozens of others."
Michael Rousseau, CEO of Air Canada, will retire by the end of the third quarter after nearly 20 years with the airline. His retirement announcement comes after he faced backlash for issuing an English-only message of condolence following the crash of Flight 8646 in New York. The crash resulted in the deaths of two pilots and injuries to many others. Rousseau's message, which included only a brief greeting and closing in French, drew criticism, particularly as one of the deceased pilots was a Francophone.
