I had a 767 on a YYZ-YOW flight a little while back...but I guess they were just moving the plane because it was empty and I don't think they fly that on that route regularly.
Edited to 767 not 737

You think that's bad - try MIA-YVR on an A319 which is simply nasty. Almost 7 hours!
On the other hand, BGI is getting the big bird on the winter sked. (763)</font>

BGI used to have a 762 6X week from YYZ and one from YUL. 2-3 years ago they went to an A340 for high season and last year we had an A330 certain days for a while there and 763's on the rest. Than they started playing with the fares and the loads dropped off.
Back when Wardair was in business they flew a full DC10 or 747 to BGI on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. AC flew L1011's or 747's on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Ah..the good old days! LOL

Yes, bad. bad, bad. I did that in November and it would be enought to turn anyone off AC. maybe it was the length of the flight, but the seat pitch in Y seemed worse than WS! I think the flight was even weight-restricted?
