Air Canada Rouge to expand to Vancouver, Calgary

[Thirteentennorth]

this Rouge thing would spread around the country.

The entire Caribbean is going Rouge - no more mainline down that way.

Rouge is off the BGI route as of Oct 01. Mainline A319 until Nov 30 then B777-300 from Dec 01-Mar 30.

Have flown on Rouge a couple of times to BGI and Y class is not as bad as people are making out, seat-pitch wise...and I'm 6'2".

Service is pleasant enough, young, fresh faces. Fedoras look corny tho'.

Unprofessional? Why? Did you fly through the air after your video ended and arrive safely to your destination? All airlines have taken those photos so I guess you will be taking the train/bus/boat or car next time...I'm betting you won't.[/quote]

Nailed it

I had a flight from Florida to Toronto this spring with air rouge. We watched the pilot
And two stewardess get out of the plane to do the circle check. Pilot had on
Safety vest girls didn't. Then we watched the girls jump up into the engine
Intake compartment and pose there as the pilot took pictures. It was very
Very windy and the fan was turning behind them. Got it all on video. Not
Impressed at all with the unprofessionalness of the crew. I won't be flying
With them again.

I bet if it saves you 15 bucks on your next trip you'll be on there again!

Nah, that fan is there for cooling. If it stops, then there is some serious sweating to do...

I just booked another trip. And yes I didn't book with them even though it cost me more.

My wife took the same pictures at mainline, I guess you'll scratch them of your list as well?
Air Canada Rouge is operated by AC pilots with AC training standards. I can tell you that it's far from being "unprofessional" and we take our job very seriously.
This being said we tend to be more relaxed and try to have fun while we're on the ground, it's just a different mentality with a younger crowd.

As well, Rouge FAs have so far received great reviews from passengers for their friendliness, attention to details and quality of service in general, which in my book sounds like they're doing their jobs like pros.

Being a new company there's still a lot to work on but it's definitely not on professionalism.

Enjoy your trip and I hope we'll have the pleasure to see you again on Rouge
