Question US Airways and Air Canada Code Share?

Is US Airways going to start code sharing on the Western routes anytime soon? Routes such as LAS - YVR/YYC/YEG PHX - YVR/YYC/YEG ?

As long as they don't let AC have in any say or allow AC to handle check-in etc. it would be okay in YEG.

Interesting question. The short answer is "Who knows?"

The longer answer is "Maybe." As many will remember, Air Canada (ACE, technically) invested $75 million is the merger. This bought them two things: 1 - all the outsourced heavy aircraft maintenance and 2 - "dibs" on any expanded Express service between Canada and the U.S. with AC's Jazz division as long as they weren't underbid.

Just food for thought....

When I flew HP LAS-YYZ in June, the YYZ ground crew was US-East. I did score an op-up on my Y award ticket which was very nice ^

I am on the AC LAS-YYZ red eye in October confirmed F award ticket. Will have to see how AC compares to HP.

In YEG, it is contractors who are HP people since they started flying to YEG. ^

ACE also recently sold off their investment so it is unclear of they hold any leverage any longer. I do not know if the Jazz contract is time or investment based.
