Jump to postI can't agree about Air Canada as ACDC8 I'm afraid. I'll admit, the ERJ's on domestic flights are brilliant and comfortable, but the CRJs are cramped, the Airbuses are fair enough, but their Boeings have done nothing but disappoint.

The original Canjet (when the first two and it joined up)

I don't know the dates but I've not flown a WHOLE lot and I remember what was old and what wasn't.
Oldest: Canjet 737-200, in 2001. Presumably from the late 70s/early 80s.
Newest: toss-up between Porter Air DHC-8-400 and Air Canada 777-300ER. Both were within a few months of delivery.
Does anyone have any opinions on the DC-8? Especially the -70 series?

I was wondering if anyone had a chance to compare these two models, especially on the subject of fuel burn characteristics. I noticed that the POSKY models steadily burn fuel with the engines off, is this to simulate an APU?
