Air Canada, eh? Hope it works out for them. I can't believe they are down to 2 flights now to YYZ, we used to have at least 4 a day, and from what I remember I always good loads on those flights.

ya every trip pairing i had Toronto. I did more Canada then anything. Loads were always full or close to full. I guess Air Canada wants a piece of the pie in these troubling times in a more comfortable airplane.

The news article said the flights will be operated by Air Canada Jazz, which I'm guessing CRJ, doubt they'll fly the Dash 8. Heck, even DAY has had service to YYZ for a while by Air Georgian flying BE-1900s.

There is no future at Comair, if you are waiting for recall rumors, growth rumors, upgrade rumors, or any positive news rumors; it’s not gona happen any time soon. For you who qualify, Emirates is hiring:

If you were furloughed, and are jet current, that means you found something better than Comair...and better than living in the Middle East.

Bring on the Jet Blue and Southwest service (at CVG). I'd love to see them come in to the land of Delta!
