Re: Going on Vacation! Air France YYZ-CDG CDG-TLV

Flew with AF this summer out of CDG to YUL. They were actually great for stanby pax. They have their own dedicated standby counter to ask questions etc. I didn't get a jumpseat ride, but because the flight was full they were willing to have me occupy one of the FA's jumpseats. Luckily however, I got...

Re: Current Ticket Prices

Fine...Great... The prices are down and it's low season. But either WestJet or Air Canada must have been the catalyst to lower the prices. I couldn't see AC or WJ lowering their fares unless the other one lowered them first. The lower prices are based on reactionary measures. So I guess i was wonder...

Re: Current Ticket Prices

That's the price of the cheapest ticket on all their flights at the time the ad was posted. The purpose is to attract customers, who can't all buy that seat, and fares vary with demand; as more seats are purchased, the price rises. The last seats sold on a full flight can cost ten or more times the...

Current Ticket Prices

I was just looking over some recent fares around Canada and the US and I was absolutely shocked at the seat sales going on at the moment. $38.00 on WJ Toronto - Atlantic City??? AirCanada seems to be going the same route $50.00 Edmonton to Yellowknife...$100.00 Calgary - Toronto... and the list goes...

Re: Island in sights come 2010?

low-cost carriers should not be confused with regional airlines that operate short flights without service, or with full-service airlines offering some reduced fares". Seeing a company actually bringing service back into the Service Sector is if anything, refreshing. Pardon my ignorance but what ki...

Re: Need for Pilots in Canada after recession perhaps?

My assumption is that most of the pilots who have already been laid off will be the first to get in as soon as the economy starts to pick back up. A buddy of mine was laid off but his employer definately told him he would be recieving a call as soon as things were back in order. This could just be s...

Re: operational flight plans

Flight plans usually contain sensitive information such as payload, fuel consuption, MELS etc.

Perhaps listing the reasons for your request will entice others to give you copies.

Re: First Air Engine failure on departure YEG

First Air is one of the most profitable airlines in Canada hands down.

l really think that there will be some major changes to the operations in the north. lt'll be interesting to see where the other operators will fare in that competition.
