Hmm, CP and AC?
 

Hi,
As a high school student who don't travel a lot, can somebody here please tell me what's the different between Air Canada and Canadian Airlines? All I know is AC's bigger than CP in general but CP's larger than AC in Western Canada. Anything else..? Thanks. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

CP is in big financial trouble and, so far, AC is not.

There used to be competition between the two, but now I fear that AC is increasingly seeing CP as irrelevant. AC is pursuing strategic partnerships, including one with the young upstart Westjet in western Canada, that could further undermine CP domestically.

I have had bad previous experience that shifted my business to AC but loyal CP flyers note a significant improvement in service for business flyers.

CP has been trying really hard and I wish them good luck (may even fly them once or twice this year) -- AC needs serious domestic competition.

The main international market that CP is focusing on is the Asia Pacific while AC is focusing on the Europe market. As I know, AC can't fly to South America too.
