Subject: AC's 3xxx flight #s


Does anyone have an idea how AC's flight #s work these days?

Recently it used to be 3xxx meant a CP aircraft and CP crew. Now I'm
seeing 3xxx flight #s with airbus 319 at the equipment.

Do airlines have any 'master scheme' for flight #ing.

i.e.
- United used to run 600-640 as flights between ORD and DCA.
- AC uses 7xx for flights to/from LGA, 2xx for YVR/YYC etc.
- AC/UA/BA/AA etc. mostly use single digit numbers for 'prestige
flights' i.e. trans-con or international

I thought at one point odd flight #s were west bound and even were
east-bound for AC.

United seems to have renumbered all flights to/from Canada starting with
1000.

Any insight from anyone?

Matthew
