Re: SAS 737-600 Retirement
It's a shame..Isnt there a market for them.like there was for the 735? I mean there are still 733s flying that are 30yrs old..These 736 must be younger and with a lot of life left to be utilised The 736 has always been a niche airplane because of its weight relative to the number of passengers it c...

Re: 60 Minutes Australia special on 737max
OMG!!! They way they have over dramatized the 737MAX, it's a death trap that no matter what Boeing does, another issue will creep up and kill more people.

Re: Air Canada prepares Rouge for ULCC competition
I have flown them once, never again!
They offer the same price as WestJet for a far inferior product.

Re: Flair Airlines first aircraft in new livery, plans expansion as ULCC
Keep in mind their LCC market pie is about to get split up a few more different ways. Swoop and jetlines coming into the fray soon along with AC Rouge entering more domestic lanes. AC Rouge is not an LCC. Air Canada simply charges the same rates as their mainline service and try to pass it off as a...

Re: American, United settle 9/11 Claims
Totally ridiculous! This is why insurance costs are so high! Remember people, part of the reason airline fees are so high is that they have to build a fund to pay for stupid cases like these, or at least pay for insurance and lawyers. Which leads me to one of my favorite jokes: What do you call 100 ...

Re: Air Canada, pilots reach deal for more aircraft at Rouge
I still will not fly Rouge. I've flown them once and sardines have more leg room. If they charged less than mainline, I would think about it, but they don't. I fly YYC - PHX often. WS price is the same as AC Rouge, but you get more legroom, better service and leather seats on WS.

Re: Airbus is examining 'A380-Plus'
His point was that Boeing bet on more point to point travel with the 787. Airbus thought that the major hubs would be too congested with limited gate space, and with that, the A380 would alleviate this dilemma. But Boeing’s bet, albeit expensive, lengthy and problematic at times, seems to have paid...

Re: AC changes Victoria (YYJ) to Rouge
I will NOT fly Rouge when paying mainline rates. The seat pitch on the 319's is ridiculous. I used to love flying the E190's from YYC to PHX. Now that they have the Rouge 319's, and the fare is basically the same as Westjet, bye bye AC.
