I agree with Fewmiles that we should be looking to the future and not to the past. Both Canadian mainline carriers excelled in certain areas. One can always find anecdotal evidence to the contrary, at both companies. Unfortunately, the strategy pursued by Canadian Airlines, was poorly conceived and executed. This despite the hard work of the great majority of their employees. As an Air Canada employee, I'm looking forward to working with my Canadian colleagues. I always strive to offer former Canadian customers the best possible service, just like all of my customers. I would ask that Canadian customers please refrain from using current Air Canada travel experiences to reinforce a previously held anti Air Canada bias. Please give us a little more time to successfully merge the two airlines. This summer has seen record numbers of people travelling, with the merging of operations just starting. I hope to see you on one of my flights!
