I agree with the other comment. Canadian Airlines took delivery of its first 747-400 in 1990 (C-GMWW) and also Toronto Terminal 3 is visible as well (opened in 1991). This video dates from at least 1991. This brings back a lot of fond memories of flying CP.
I loved working at Canadian. Am part of this video at about 6:00 - 6:36 as part of the "Welcome to Whitehorse". Still miss the great times and great people
i had my subsequent yr 6 primary school in 1989 teacher fly canadian to vancouver where he was to teach in kamloops a yr 4 class in 87 and brought the family.when he brought the other teachers and a bunch of yr 5/6/7 students along which i was a part of for a cultural exchange at the end of yr 6 we went qantas from australia.
Use to be a frequent passenger when I was a kid, especially of the Canadian North division, courtesy of my father who was a Flight Service Specialist for Transport Canada at the time in Kuujjuaq. Still remember the stellar service they were giving, and still have a blanket that was gifted to me by one of their staff, I miss them dearly. No plan on forgetting them ever, and when I fly in Microsoft Flight Simulator in VATSIM, I usually either fly under Canadian or Inter-Canadien banner depending on the plane I fly :)
I worked in CAI since 1989 til it was bought up by AC. I could recognize some faces in this video cause I used to worked with them! Some I can still name them, others just seemed familiar. Thank you for posting!
This video was sent to me by Rob, a long time friend & co-worker in the airlines industry. I´m one of the male flight attendants serving meals in the video. If the dates are right I was 30 years old at the time. I remember the man who shot the video footage asking the cabin crew if it we were okay with him taking video of us before we took off that day. Canadian Airlines was made up of a group of people brought together through acquisitions & mergers of various other Canadian carriers. It was a great airline. This video is a highlight in my aviation memory book. Thank you Mr. Kreimes for posting & sharing the video. I do remember the day ... some 30 years later !! Bruce ✈️
Hello Bruce. Sorry I did not see your comments earlier. Just now went through the video's I posted. Glad to hear that you enjoyed it. The video was given to me by a former employee of the Audio Visual Dept.
Oh bless that’s so cool. I only got to fly Nationair out of Manchester to Toronto in 91 as a young child, but they did a service to MAN during some days, Wardair flew into Leeds With 747 once a week to YYZ until 89, but Nationair seemed to be cheaper in those days. The meals were also amazing but started to be less quality and quantity to what you get today, for sure. Even the hot meal plate was porcelain in economy flying on the schedule carriers until mid 90s, except for a few that also stopped since. Real cutlery was always standard too.
Had not seen/heard this video before....so well done. Congratulations to the creators and to so many wonderful CDN colleagues. Bryce Paton PWA-CDN 72-93.
@@semmes5342 They were too forward thinking...they put a lot on what would be a big money maker before everyone else did : trips to south-east asia. Past the mid 2000s, these destination would become extremely popular for tourism, but the downturn that happened there in the late 90s, when Canadian invested in these routes, combined with the pounding they were taking from Westjet in the domestic market, meant that they could not last....had they managed to keep afloat for a few more years, they would probably still be there, but time was the one thing they did not have. But service-wise, they were above Air Canada. And yes, their service was stellar IMO (that said due to my father work as an FSS up north, we had family friends working for them, so I will admit that I am biased on that subject)
Air Canada has gotten billions in handouts and for several decades the government made it illegal to compete with Air Canada. 2 kids flying paper airplanes could run a better airline if they got the same treatment that Air Canada did.
I worked Canadian Holidays in PSP. The aircraft painted as Canadian Holidays received lots of complaints . They were funny as hell , cramped seating and lack of room.
I loved my career at Canadi>n Holidays and I so would do it again if the opportunity presented itself again. They say “Find a job that you love and you’ll never have to work a day in your life!” It truly was irreplaceable. I miss my inside customers, my outside customers and the memories that this career afforded me. Thank you Canadi>n Airlines.
This video CANNOT be from 1985 because the 747-400 is visible a few times during the video and the latter didn't fly for commercial airlines until around 1988-89.
Loved travelling with Canadian. One of a kind airline. My husband loved working at Canadian (flight attendant) and was very proud to be one of the crew members.
I remember around in June 1991 see so many Hong Kong people are taking Canadian Airlines flight from Hong Kong-Vancouver-Toronto & then from Toronto-Vancouver-Hong Kong but Canadian does not fly into Singapore. But now Air Canada buys the whole market of Canadian Airlines & changed to its name only "AIR CANADA".
Thank you for your your comments. I think you are right that this video was produced later. I think that I confused the date with another video I posted under Airline History "Wardiar- Our Story" Also see many other videos featuring Canadian and Air Canada under "Jetliners" Herman
Thank you! I'm probably driving one of those Tugs in YYZ or in a bucket on the Satellite De-icing!! LOL!! Best job ever. Full Stop. Best people ever. Another Full Stop. Most Compassionate Company that Cared. Full Stop. Missed. Full Stop.
Anyone know how good was Canadian Airlines?? According to Deb Rutz, it was the second best, could it possibly be true? Has anyone ever flown with them? Wish with them
Loved working for regional, then ac took over and everything went to hell. To this day, I still don't fly with ac. I'd rather pay more and fly with someone else. Shame on you ac, you've made a mockery of us!!
Sorry to hear that you had such a bad experience with Air Canada. I suppose when an airline takes over another it always seems to cause bad fealings. Herman
I used to also work for Canadian... But I have to say, this is the cheesiest most ridiculous song in the history of mankind. It sounds like as if it were an SNL skit... Were they drunk when they signed off on this song? The cheese just oozes out..
Well John....its unfortunate that you don't like the tune. Personally I think its a great song and very fitting. I find it to sort have a double meaning. It should have been uplifting for Canadian AL employees and also it makes me feel patriotic to be a Canadian. Herman
I worked for Canadian at LAX years ago,great airline and friendly people, I miss them a lot.
Proud to say I worked for Canadian Airlines. It was like family...

My late husband David Mitchel (1943-2004) worked for Canadian from 1964 to 1993 . He loved being part of the airline. It brings back memories.
I miss Canadian Airlines.

loved seeing my dad as part of behind the scenes...
That is incredible!!!! What part of the video is he making an appearance???
Herman
I miss Canadian Airlines. They were a great airline and I would love to fly with them again.
Canadian took me to Toronto in 1999. Good memories...
Thank you for your comment. Yes....Canadian ALI was indeed a great airline

Canadian Airlines was amazing always great service with a smile =0D

An Airline with a Heart ❤️ Proud to have flown for CA
THEY USED TO FLY TO SAO PAULO BRAZIL...
Beautiful Teamwork..Thank-You One and All..what an Honour!💞
I also worked at "Canadian". The 2nd best airline (next to EPA) - miss them both.
My late husband David Mitchell (1943-2004) loved working for Canadian from 1964 to 1993. It brings back memories.
The Best Airline in Canada by far, they really knew how to treat the customers.
Sadly Missed
best? they went under...doesnt sound so good to me

good thing ac took over or you pal would be shit outa luck be thankful you sour old turd
it is air Canada now!
It is 'part' of Air Canada now.
Canadian Airlines was such a pleasure to travel on and deal with.
It was very sad when that "other " airline bought them out.......
@@goalie604403 Canadian Pacific was smart to get out of the Aviation business at the right time.

I'm referring to the musical style... Very cheesy and outdated. Sounds like a bad asian kareoke song.
That theme song is really awful.
