Go to http://www.dbrs.com/ to get basic information on ratings. On the top menu, click on “Indexes” and scroll down to choose “Bond Only”. Once on that page, scroll down to “Air Canada”. What is Air Canada’s current bond rating?

Then click on Air Canada and notice the press releases on this company. What can you say about the risk of Air Canada’s bonds in the past five years? Is this consistent with the increase in Air Canada’s beta which you observed from FP Corporate Analyzer in the last chapter’s (Chapter 10’s) Interactive Exercise?
