Well that is the EMPLOYEE travel site… It is but who says I'm the employee? Either way, I've asked for it to be taken down to avoid this controversy...

YYC is a joke and has a horrendously terrible airport authority. We've established this. That said, I'm here everyday and see plenty of AC pax arrive on Jazz and go to the lounge. It really isn't that far. Again, AC mainline has never "dumped" pax on A. They have never operated from A, ev...

Why can't they use the MLL? I came into the B gates I think it was recently and have to say the long trek to the MLL is a pain in the butt, but it doesn't mean the lounge can't be used. My connecting flight went out from the C gates then. If you land in A and then depart in A and have less than 90 ...

Re: Air Canada News And Discussion Thread - 2022

C gate exclusivity at YYC is far less of a big deal post-covid because domestic flights can now depart from international and even transborder gates when so configured by the airport.

So the winter season has nothing to do with these cuts? Airlines trim the schedules for winter usually no? Yes they do. YYC-IAH is showing 2x Jazz RJ plus 2x UA mainline next summer which is more than what actually ran in 2019 and doesn't really support the "abandon YYC" rhetoric, but we'...

IAH is United's gateway to South America.

Somewhat of a chicken before the egg scenario, no? On both LAX and YWG you have a direct competitor operating a larger aircraft, (thus with a presumably lower seat mile cost) with more frequency. On top of that, as a consumer I’d much prefer a 737 series aircraft over a CR9 any day of the week. So ...

Re: Air Canada News And Discussion Thread - 2022

Loads don't justify LAX, SFO or YWG as you've mentioned. LAX just switched back to the 900 after a summer with mainline.
