Air Canada CEO Michael Rousseau will retire by the end of the third quarter after nearly two decades with the airline, the company said on Monday, a week after he made headlines by issuing an English-only message of condolence following the crash of Flight 8646 in New York.
The plane departed from Montreal and collided with a fire truck upon landing at LaGuardia airport in New York, killing two pilots — first officer Mackenzie Gunther and Capt.
Antoine Forest — and injuring dozens of others.
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 (aside from beginning with "bonjour" and ending with "merci").
One of the pilots, Forest, was a Francophone Quebecois from Coteau-du-Lac, Que.
