I like the AC E75s that I've flown between Chicago and Toronto. The seats and IFE are good.

FT postings weren't the reason why ACHorizons was shut down. All employees and retirees finally had access to the corporate portal, which allowed access behind the firewall, like every other major company in the world.

That probably explains why my flight from YEG to YYZ tonight shows as [back to] a A320 rather than the E90 that had been operating this flight for most of the winter. Will be interesting to see what it turns out to be in reality, and if it is an A320, if it will be an XM. I've found lots of aircraft changes on day-of-flight, including as I've noted before E90s for E75s, CRJs for DASH8s and A320s for A319s (likely due to larger loads on some routes).

A large part of the plane's troubles have been tracable to the very cold weather we have been having. With temperatures starting to creep up, the problems have been diminishing. I wouldn't hestiate to book one myself. Basically, I like to do the opposite of Why Fly says. Usually works out much better.

One would hope that AC does not look at planes and low temperature operation by the Center of The Universe (tm) standards. |

Oh and the E75 and E90 will be going in for repair jobs soon... read all about it;) Jetblue just got some "rentals" so they can send the plane in for a refit. AC should announce something similar soon. It might be hard for "others" on here to admit the planes have some issues. THey dont deal in facts:D |
That's a pretty rich statement. How about "RM bankrupted a monopoly" ?
|
Heard on the radio today that Jetblue will be grounding its Embraer fleet to fix software glitches.

This is not a surprise.
First/second buyers of a new aircraft type most always are the proverbial guinea pigs who experience various aircraft snags. |

The line about it not being sufficiently cold weather tested IMHO is a red herring. If the planes have issues IMHO they are not related to this. And all the E flights I have been on didn't have any problems that were equipment related. |
Was speaking to an AC Res. Agent today and he recalled the Airbuses going through the same type of teething problems some 15 years ago. FWIW, I really appreciate the speed, comfort and AVOD on the E75 and E90. Just booked another flight on the E90. Interesting too, but OT, I booked a 777 from Montreal to Toronto on AC for 8 April...

had a flight booked for today it has been swapped out for airbus equipment.
