Actually, CP (Canadian Pacific) was purchased by Pacific Western first in 1987 and renamed Canadian Airlines International. In 2000 Canadian Airlines International was bought by Air Canada.

They want to cram as much people as they can nowadays with these "MODERN" seats, which are getting thinner and thinner = more profits for them.

"in 1987, Canadian Pacific Air Lines was sold, along with Quebec's Nordair, to Calgary-based Pacific Western Airlines (PWA) for $300 million. PWA assumed the airline's debt of $600 million. In April 1987, PWA announced that the new name of the merged airline would be Canadian Airlines International. In 2000, Canadian Airlines was taken over by and merged into Air Canada."
