AC has also applied their Rapidair moniker to the Calgary/Vancouver/Edmonton triangle when the competitive environment suited it. The operating 'rules' were never like the USAir or Delta Shuttle products between DCA/LGA/BOS, but in practice it was similar as most of the fares were rather 'full' (it kept AC from diving into the government coffers in the 70s) and you could show up early, or late and there would be no fuss. For the record, Canadian tried to match Air Canada's Rapidair product with their Shuttle produc. I believe success was rather muted in comparison.
