Question...how long did Western Airlines offer DC-10 service from Vancouver to Hawaii? Did the route last for years, or was it a short experiment? I think I read somewhere that it commenced around 1976? I flew a Continental DC-10 pub flight from Vancouver to Honolulu in 1987...it would seem that bot...

Jump to postI LOVE this livery...especially on the DC-9's/MD-83s. I especially love the fact that they used brown, because its not really used very much in airline liveries (now and back then). Transair used it on their golden jets in the 70's and that's the only carrier i remember (since Fiji Airways new schem...

Jump to postNice, so glad they kept the First Air branding, great compromise, the Canadian North branding wasn't nearly as slick or current.

Any news on whats happening? Flew over the new airport site in the spring and it looks great. I cant see them moving with so much already done.
Man, i wish they offered better service. So disappointed on my business class flight from MEX - YVR this past spring. Awful food, dirty planes (7378), less than enthusiastic flight crew and awful MEX airport.

Jump to postThere is no doubt in my mind that they will fall flat on their face with the overseas routes.

Jump to posti am originally from Hawai'i but live in Vancouver and i wish i had flown their YVR - HNL flight when they had it. I heard it was great service with those famous baked on board cookies. They did pioneer 737 flights to the islands long before the likes of WestJet and others.

This happens every time a new livery comes out. Initially, everyone freaks out and hates it.

Reminds me of American Airlines, Air Canada, etc. Yes its not fancy but it is simple and el...

Unbelievable. I guess Canadians will continue to see more BOEING VALUES CANADIANS commercials on TV until this is finally settled. The commercial kindly reminds viewers that BOEING employs 2000 Canadians and contributes substantially to the Canadian economy.
Jump to postPersonally, I think the mask needs to be larger on bigger aircraft as the mask gets a bit lost on the 777-300 and 787. The mask seems to make a bigger statement on smaller aircraft like the CRJ's and the C series, if NAVI is any indication. https://issuu.com/spafax/docs/air-canada-navi-08-201710/10
Jump to postThe mask looks so good on smaller aircraft rather than the larger wide bodies. It will look amazing on the C Series when AC gets their first ones.
