Historically speaking a sandwich is any food you can hold in your hand and eat while working in a laboratory. Hence the name - right?

This is how I eat my prime rib and I'd never call that a sandwich.

A typical drive-by but it made me the 300th poster on this thread.

Well in that case I see this as an absolute win.

When I was in the army we always made our meals from the field kitchen into a sandwich.

Mystery meat, mashed potatoes and green beans all go between two pieces of bread.


Plates were a fools game.

Wait, if that’s a game, what’s a fool’s errand then?

Air Canada is a good airline.

All airlines are good airlines. It just depends on your personal experience.

One bad experience is often enough to make it "the most terrible airline ever, never using them again!".

It is, until something goes wrong. I've found Westjet responds better in those situations.

My anecdotal evidence trumps yours.

Booked back from MEX via YVR in January. We had about a 12 hour layover in YVR before the flight back to YYC. Hanging out in Chapultepec park in Mexico City a couple of days before our flight home, my cell rings and it says Air Canada. Agent on the other end says "We noticed you have a long layover in Vancouver on the way back, want us to book you onto a flight that is only a 2 hour layover?", damn did that ever blow me away.

Then in Vancouver my wife is using a wheelchair to get around (twisted her ankle bad on the pyramids) and the agent with us asks if we'd like to try standby for the flight to YYC leaving an hour earlier than our new one. Sounds good to us. They put us on standby, we get on and even in the economy plus section.

While one experience I found the proactive nature of their staff to be a real awesome experience. I really don't hesitate to book either Air Canada or WestJet for travel.

The proactive nature wasn't so you could have a good experience though, it was probably to cancel the later flight. They don't just look through their schedules finding long layovers and calling people. That would be weird. Same with bumping you in YVR. They probably knew it was tight on the later one, and were trying to move passengers to the early one.


I mean, I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure their motto isn't "were not happy until you are happy."

Both of the Canadian airlines are better than most of the other ones on this continent.
Ever flown Southwest?

Never had the pleasure. Is it still "scramble for seats" boarding?

Did fly with Easyjet this summer, was quite nice actually for a short hop from Paris to Split.

Guaranteed the other flight was oversold and they would have had to pay $$ to bump people. Still, way better than making you take the next flight later.

I've had terrible service from both WJ and AC. It's just the way it goes these days and no airline seems immune.

Yeah. I have had similarly good and bad experiences from WJ and AC as well. Nothing really so bad from either that it would be note worth.

As for the “come at me, bro” theme - I put my dishes away before they are dry. I could leave them on the dish rack, but they just pile up if I leave them to dry.

Doing your own dishes is for suckers.

Paper plates are almost as economical and you just throw them away when your done.
