Is the Air Canada Airline any good?

[Mir]

Quit whinning about Air Canada.
An Airbus can not fly from Toronto to Yellowknife, so they require a 747 (need fuel). .

AirBus 340-500 can easily fly 14K K.Meters with Full load

AirCanada nolonger have A 747 in their Fleet.

air canada like all other airlines have been hit hard during past decade and 9/11 so they have had to cut back the perks or services they offered before.

but Air Canada is still a good airline with a relatively modern fleet, exlemparay saftey record and very good service within canada and internationl routes at competitive prices.

much better than any other canadian airline. Westjet is absolute garbage, more expensive than AC, worst schedule for flights, aged fleet and inexerienced cabin crew and absolutely no amenities whatsoever.

I think I read somewhere that Air Canada has to by law service many route that are not profitable. As a result, they ends up fighting an up hill battle in a highly competitive environment. While other airlines can drop route, AC does not have that option.

With that said, I have not experience any complaint that are out of the ordinary for air travel when I fly with AC. While the exprience cannot be compared with Cathay, it has IMHO been better that its other competitiors.

i hate cathay b/c their seats are for midgets and developmentally challenged people.
