from a corporate point of view its sounds like a great idea , then again those bean counters don't have to ride economy , after a 13 hour flight from asia I got crammed into a a320 for five hours to Toronto , it was air Canada daily Vancouver Toronto route , and that's paying full price , by the way that was 1995 , this is old news
Air Canada Rouge didn't exist in 1995, so it's not "old news". This report is, in fact, about something the airline is doing now.
They are just going to make them like the Air Transat sardine cans,,, such a joy to fly overseas on!!!!
Watch out for AC's 787, I have heard through the industry that the YYZ to NRT flight will have a 251 pax config, most other airlines are at 230 pax. 13 hours at 29" pitch NO THANKS
I'm seeing a lot of claustrophobic attacks! There's no leg room now how can they possibly take any away??
