Why didn't Air Canada order the MD80
Air Canada had a large fleet of DC9s over the years, the MD80 would have been a natural fit to progress to, yet the never ordered them. I have fond memories of flying on the AC DC9s to CYSJ over the years to go to the cabins my family owned along the St, John river

Re: Why didn't Air Canada order the MD80
Air Canada did order the MD-80, but it never went beyond option status. If you look, you’ll see McDD set aside some line places for them. (Never built).
The turn toward the 727-200, then intimately the A320 series made more sense as both were more capable airframes, still within the required “150 seat” niche.
