Another comment in addition to my previous one 4 days ago about the 340. A retired Air Canada Captain friend of mine flew the 340 out of Vancouver to Asian destinations said the quality of the cabin air in the 340 was the best of any aircraft he flew or flew on. He also told me that the AirFrance 340 that went off the end of 34 Left in Toronto was a no brainer PILOT ERROR. In addition on boarding his aircraft to Hong Kong (as the Captain) thet took his nail clippers. In Canada I guess we are ultra safe.

Bev and I also like 2-4-2 and 2-3-2 because as a couple you have no one next to you. We have flown on 767s many times and like it. We flew fro the old Tai Chek aiirport in Hong Kong on a Cathay Pacific 340 non stop to Toronto in 14 hours. Great airplane, great service and not a tiring trip.

And of course they will isolate for 14 days in Mexico and another 14 day when they return to Canada.

A friend of mine; a retired Air Canada A340 Captain based in Vancouver and who flew long flights to Asian destinations had his nail clppers confiscated when boarding a flight as Captain.

Good for you Mike Wyss. They may be less fuel efficient, but my wife and I like the 767 because of its 232. Much better than the mile long 757 whic is basically the same aircraft. Air Canada shuttles 767 from Momtreal, Toronto, to Fort Lauderdale and it works.

99.999% of Canadian over taxed taxpayers who fund this company will never fly on it. Also well more than half of Bombadier's production of aircraft is offshore. Their LRT product purchased by Toronto is over two years behind schedule and now they all have defects thus have to be returned for repairs. This company is a net loss to Canada.

The 767 is our favourite aircraft. We like twin aisles and the 2-3-2 seating especially the 2 on the sides for a couple; no stranger to climb over or to climb over you. The 330 and 340,s also have two on the side but the 767 is much more common for us here in Ontario.

I have made similar comments to Jim Lynch in the past about Bombadier and he has it right. The family has prferred shares which enable them to out vote major shareholders. When people try to defend the amount of taxpayer funding (but we have no shares) by referring to Airbus or any other aircraft maker they don't realize that Canada has a population of only 35 million. The C series now the AB220 should never have been developed. I am glad that I have an ally in Jim Lynch.

This company has relied on the Canadian taxpayer since it was founded. Government funding for anything is simply taxpayer dollars. Governments have no money. However this is a Quebec company and that province gets way more per capita than any other province: reason, they do strategic voting to make sure they control our Federal government. The rest of us aren't smart enough to do this. I am an 80 year old Ontario resident.
