What if...
AMIA is bought out and since AMIA can change any aspect of Aeroplan they want, they could greatly increase the amount of points needed for AC ticket redemption. At the same time they could short AC stock.. Thinking without AMIA , AC isn't filling their planes near enough and would lose market cap. Since AC isn't anywhere near implementing their own program, they would be in a pickle. Would be a great revenge story. KArma and all.. -Uber
