In an interview with Reuters, Mike Rousseau blamed the impasse on a gap between the airline's offer and its union's demands.
Air Canada said it suspended plans to restart operations Sunday after the union representing 10,000 flight attendants said it would defy a return-to-work order.
The union's counter-offer to Canada Post requests a 20.3 per cent wage increase over four years, much higher than the Crown corporation's "final offer" of 13 per cent.
