Not really.

Both had 320s. AC had aging DC-9s, CP, some 737s. As to regionals, CP had F-28s while AC had BAE146s. Latter was particularly weird but former were held together by duct tape.

Your feeling has no impact on the facts. If an 18 year old joined Wardair in 1989 they would now be about 47 years old.

I stopped regularly flying 10 years ago. YWG was my home base. At that time, my three top rated agents were all ex CP. Customer focused, they all went the extra proverbial mile to problem solve when journeys went sideways. They cared about pax !

There was a respect that went both ways. People seemed more patient and accommodating. Flying Wardair in the 90s was still fun, especially the upper deck on a 747.

Todays sardine can environment is no fun for staff OR passenger. Wardair never had to deal with that
