Amazing how it has fallen...

And earlier near the cp merge there were at least 2 flights daiy including the Sydney 763 and often a daytime 747
AC does not want to be competitive.

The alternatives are cheaper, so many of us fly them. Loads decrease. And the trend continues.

Lots of choices between Canada and US, including star alliance options.
