It's just a bigger sardine can... Yippee!

[complexintentions]

Hmmm as someone with time in both C-FICU and Boeing products I'll take the 787 any day, thanks.

But it would be nice if a YYZ-AMS pairing was operated by a Canadian crew.

[FICU]

Interesting... time in C-FICU... was that with CGAA or under Bob and CCI?

My point being these charter operators maximize the seat count and discomfort to pax in economy no matter how big, shiny, new, or spiffy the jet is.

Meh, beats the crap out of flying cattle class in a United 747 from ORD-NRT. Goddddddddd that is horrible, i'll take the Sunwing 787 or rouge 767 anyday before that!

[tincanflyer]

....I'll walk before Rouge but will take Sunning and especially a 787 any day!

[FICU]

Do people not realize that Sunwing only sells the tickets and the flights are operated by a Euro low cost charter carrier?

You don't fly with Sunwing or Canadian pilots.

I think what you meant was AC will....

MONTREAL, Sept. 25, 2014 /CNW Telbec/ - Air Canada announced today it will introduce year-round mainline service to Amsterdam from Toronto beginning in June 2015 as part of the continuing expansion of its international network.

However, comparing AC mainline to Rouge, Westjet and Sunwing is not apples to apples.

[Johnny#5]

Yeah, it's more like comparing potatoes to grapes....but not the nice sweet grapes, more like the ones that are early and bitter but will be better with time. And the potatoes aren't Russets, they're the small ones that are good with stews but not that filling on their own unless you eat like 25.

Sure, "does"/"will" whatever, just another option...

Transat is on that route as well. Will be interesting to see how it all goes down.
