Thanks for a great flight Air Canada!

As a true teal die hard WestJetter for over 14 years, I love a lot of things about my company. That doesn't stop me from noticing things about our competitors, good and bad.
Today I flew from NRT to YYC on AC010 in J Class. What a great crew and a great product, classy and friendly. Thanks for a wonderful flight guys!
For all the abuse AC gets I've got to say I've flown 10 flights on Air Canada in the past few years and they were all great. Sure, some DC-9 & CRJ flights in the past were brutal, but I think things have improved over the past few years although I've always thought AC had a great long haul International product.
I think the civil service attitude, or as past CEO Claude Taylor called it, "corporate incest", has left the building. He said, "it will take a generation to leave" and he was right. Unfortunatly, public perception also takes a while to dispel.
Comparing WestJet and Air Canada is an apples and oranges thing. Our folksy friendly thing really connects us to our guests in Kelowna and Moncton but would be a disaster with today's crowd in J from Tokyo. Each airline has its challenges but for the most part we are very lucky in this country to have some really great airlines

We just flew AC express (sky regional). Good service, on time, friendly staff, great overall experience. It's going to keep us honest

I fly on you guys as well fairly frequently.. I must say (especially in uniform or if known that I work with AC) your back end crew always treat me extremely well. Glad we can look out for each other!

I have also commuted in (AC) uniform on WJ and was treated as well as a WJ crew member (water bottle offered, free sandwich). Very classy on the cabin crews part.
