Elimination/subjugation of CP almost complete
 

While there may be vestiges of and lip service to CP, the new CP downloadable timetable suggests time is not long for CP. On YVR-NYC, the timetable shows:

• [*]
• [*]

• [*]
• [*]

• [*]

There are also several "mixed" flights, but these are just different combinations of flight numbers on the above flights. And of course, most of the CP and AA code-shares are actually the same flights (8). On top of that, one of the CP flights appears to be a bogus code-share with CP itself. (Seems improbable that CP would have 2 different 767s on the identical route at the exact same time.)

So once you factor out the code-shares, the totals are
AA/CP - 1 non-stop, 7 connecting
AC/UA - 15 connecting

AC having almost double the number of CP flights wouldn't be too remarkable in its own right, but given that it's CP's own timetable, the myth of 'two seperate, competing airlines' is pretty much exposed. Especially since CP's timetable now shows UA flights.
