- Think of the Childre…
Eventually one day it'll come to us people having to stand on the airplane. 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.
WOULD SOMEBODY THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!

A good history but no analysis.
The Government cannot give to anybody anything that the Government does not first take from somebody else.

Not a single picture of a DC-8 (of which they had what, 2 crashes???), nor a DC-9 (their last fatality, at Cincinatti/Covington airport), the L-1011, the 727, 737, nor the A340. Not much of a 'history', lol.
And what about the merger of AC and CP?

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.

Not a bad video.
Old enough to remember TCA and the launch of Air Canada... as well as the massive expansion right around 1967 Canada’s Centennial.
That thru the early 1980s were the hay day for AC
Actually the story of AC Buying out CP was mentioned 2x in the video
1992 attempt at 2:13
2001 sale at 3:03

"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."
