By the time I got to BGI it was early evening February 1st.The 3rd crew were great,btw.
The problem I had had nothing to do with delays due to cargo door not closing,no staff to load fuel,no staff to pushback plane,the right engine not starting due to frozen valve nor the timing
out of initial FA crew. The 2nd crew that came in were replacements and were clearly not interested in doing this flight and as much as said so..
Crew had just done their rapid fire safety demo (I believe they are done in less than 60 seconds). Both J cabin FAs(a 763) were standing in galley looking back towards cabin. One of two was eating a yogurt.
A lady seated at 1C made a request of possibly providing some food for pax as we are at 230pm and we were originally scheduled for 920am and she was hungry. The response she made was along the lines of
"you know,Rouge is a budget airline and you get what you pay for.". Well, needless to say it went downhill in a hurry from there.
I will leave it at that for now. I have been in touch with AC and provided that and many other comments about that flight(s). That was as bad a day as I have had in a long time.

I would say this is a good thing. I would take Jets over Dashes all day long.

Still gonna be the dissenting voice for those routes... the few frequencies are crap, and it makes planning connections to/from longhaul annoying.
Sure, "J" exists on those routes now. But now there's only 2 or 3 flights a day instead of 5 or 6, and one of them is at 0500. My butt can handle 1.5 hr in a Q400 seat if I can sleep until 6-6:30am instead of 4am, in a real bed.

I am one of those who pay higher fares. I currently have a latitude Ontario and Europe flight pass and yesterday purchased a NA latitude flight pass.

what. I thought Thunder Bay was a extremely popular leisure route. I mean there are fantastic beaches there right?

Kicked out of airport between 2a-5a each night. Walked to the 24hr grocery store for exercise and it closed at 8pm.
Don't forget Gander. Those on 9/11 were stuck there a few days involuntarily. Then this year my EYW routes had us there 3 or 4 nights in a row. With snow. In late May-early June.
//side note everyone MUST see the Broadway production Come From Away which is also touring US and Canada. I thought it would be a lame musical and went kicking and screaming. Had tons of humor and airline references hit home. Gander folks poking fun at themselves, etc.

I don't know if this was mentioned before but the A321 rouges do NOT have in seat power in Y.
I simply cannot understand how that is even something that that is even a thing in 2019
