I have been flying Canadian Airlines (CP)for years, since before I moved to YYG. It broke my heart when it was announced last month that effective 2000-02-01 they would no longer fly here (they had already stopped flying to my hometown in December).
Anyway, I found I was booked on the last flight into YYG on January 31. It was a full flight, and the co-pilot thanked us all for having stuck with CP through thick and thin. At the end of the flight, we applauded the crew before we got off the plane. I had said goodbye to most of the airport staff when I was outbound the previous week, and said goodbye to the poor woman who was the last employee of Canadian left at the airport, handling that last flight before she herself was laid off.
My next trip I have to fly Air Canada. I'm not looking forward to the strange faces and stranger attitudes at what was once a government-owned airline and still acts like one.
