Great to see.

If they're wise, they'll be generating a gigantic media campaign from it that will distract the traveling public from the Rouge debacle.

Hoping it will route over my house here in Georgetown... Traffic is flying over my backyard right now..

... the Rouge debacle.

Debacle? If they equip one with Rouge seating, once the new terminal opens here, couldn't they move people between YYC & YYZ by the thousand? Tickets could go down several dollars in price.

Sorry, I should lighten up but as horrible as it is. Too many walmart shopping people living in my city, some of whom moved from the other city deserve to be Rouged.

I do hope AirCanada can eventually operate as they did when they were worth paying more for. I've lost hope though.

How many seats have they jammed into it, all that matters. I see the seating plan on the high density 777 and shudder at the future of my next overseas flight, that is if I fly AC again. To me it's all about the seat when flying 14 + hrs.

It's just another long tube with wings painted like a tube of tooth paste... what's the big deal?

Yes and no. From a purely physical appearance, pretty much, but from an engineering perspective quite unique for a Boeing product.

Also, keep in mind that a lot of folks on here still hold on to the same passion for all things flying over their heads that they had when they were kids (I know I do) so when something new/different/unique comes along like this, it gets their attention.

Boeing has had the 787 in service for a while now... but not painted like minty fresh tooth paste.

[comanchepilot]

It's out right now doing sectors between CYOW and CYMX, though it doesn't appear to be showing on flightaware...

Looks good - to bad Boeing broke both of them before delivery.

I'm a Boeing lover - but this is the one Boeing I don't want to fly on..........This thing scares me.

Is the truck on the left the Rouge CFR, they must have a lower emergency responce budget as well. Another good reason to only fly with mainline.

+1 hahaha
