AIRLINE: I'm looking for some candid opinions from members of this list who've flown Canadian Airlines International when it was up and running. Was the service (in particular to the Far-East) better than on Air Canada? Were their lounges at the airport nicer than Air Canada? Were the FA's nicer than at Air Canada? What about the planes themselves? I'm writing a story on Air Canada and need some background info on Canadian. In addition, can anyone guess how many employees over all lost their jobs because of the merger? What ever happened to Ken Benson, former CAI, CEO? Thanks, Michael A. Burris Cambridge, Massachusetts
