Canadian Airlines

Canadian Airlines International Ltd. (stylized as Canadi›n Airlines or Canadi‹n Airlines, or simply Canadian) was a major Canadian airline that operated from 1987 until 2001. The airline was Canada's second largest airline after Air Canada, carrying more than 11.9 million passengers to over 160 destinations in 17 countries on five continents at its height in 1996. Canadian Airlines served 105 destinations in Canada, more than any other airline. Canadian Airlines was also a founding member of the Oneworld airline alliance.

Canadian Airlines was headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, and had revenue of approximately $3 billion at the end of 1999. The airline and its aircraft were acquired by Air Canada in 2000, and the merger was officially completed on January 1, 2001.

History
Canadian Airlines International was the principal subsidiary of its parent company Canadian Airlines Corporation. The new airline was formed on March 27, 1987, when Pacific Western Airlines purchased Canadian Pacific Air Lines (which operated as CP Air for a number of years), which in turn had recently acquired Eastern Provincial Airways and Nordair.

In 1989, Canadian Airlines acquired Wardair, giving them access to new routes including long-sought-after routes to the UK and Europe. Its major hubs were at Montréal-Dorval International Airport (now known as Montréal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport), Toronto Pearson International Airport, Vancouver International Airport, and Calgary International Airport.

Canadian Airlines streamlined its operations and went through the financial restructuring of over $700 million in debt, after the 1991 airline industry slump. It was further aided by an injection of cash from the American Airlines Group.

On November 1, 1996, Kevin Benson, then president and CEO, unveiled a restructuring strategy to improve the profitability of Canadian Airlines International. The operational restructuring plan was supposed to be phased in over a four-year period, addressing the main issues of cost control, revenue growth, capitalization and fleet renewal. It was also one of the founding members of the Oneworld airline alliance, along with American Airlines, British Airways, Cathay Pacific and Qantas. The plan started off well but with the effects of the 1997 Asian financial crisis, air traffic decreased and Canadian suffered heavy losses on previously profitable trans-Pacific routes. Canadian Plus was the largest frequent flyer program in Canada with more than 60 airline, hotel, car rental, and financial partners worldwide. The program had more than three million members.

In its last few years of operation, Canadian Airlines extended its international route network in Asia, with the most recent expansion of service to the Philippines, which gave it seven destinations in Asia. At that time Canadian Airlines had the distinction of flying to more places in Asia with more frequency than any other Canadian carrier.

Canadian Airlines' core business strategy focused on building its Vancouver hub into the leading gateway between North America and Asia. It leveraged its codesharing agreement with American Airlines in order to help capture a greater share of U.S.-Asia traffic flows.

Onex bid and Air Canada takeover
On August 20, 1999, Air Canada proposed a financial offer to Canadian Airlines which would see Canadian's international routes and airport slots sold to Air Canada for an undisclosed amount. Canadian Airlines would be relegated to be a regional carrier providing a feeder network to Air Canada. This offer was rejected. This financial offer evolved from a merger proposal between Canadian Airlines and Air Canada which had been ongoing since early 1999.

The proposed merger was backed by American Airlines, who had already owned a 25% stake in Canadian Airlines, the maximum allowed under Canadian foreign ownership restrictions. Then-American CEO Donald J. Carty, who had formerly headed Canadian predecessor Canadian Pacific Air Lines, planned to acquire a controlling interest in the enlarged Air Canada, with the purpose of moving it from the Star Alliance to Oneworld alliance. American Airlines was unsuccessfully lobbying Canadian federal government to ease foreign ownership restrictions on Canadian airlines. Afterwards, American sold its shares in Air Canada as the company decided to change its corporate strategy regarding the Canadian aviation market.

Four days later, on August 24, 1999, Onex Corporation announced a takeover bid for Canadian Airlines, backed by American Airlines's parent company AMR Corporation, consisting of $1.8B in cash and the assumption of $3.9B in debt. Canadian Airlines announced that it would support this and recommend acceptance from its shareholders. Air Canada rejected the offer. On August 31, 1999, Air Canada adopted a poison pill aimed at thwarting any takeover bid.

On October 19, 1999, Air Canada, backed by Star Alliance partners Lufthansa, United Airlines and CIBC announced a $930M counter bid to the Onex offer. Air Canada offered $92M for Canadian Airlines and committed to running it as a separate company. On November 2, Air Canada increased its offer to $16 per share to buy back 36.4 percent of the airline.

On November 5, 1999, a Quebec judge ruled that the Onex takeover was illegal, breaking the law that stipulates that no more than 10 percent of the company can be controlled by a single shareholder. Onex subsequently withdrew its offer and Air Canada stated it would proceed with the takeover of Canadian Airlines.

On December 4, the board of directors at Canadian Airlines recommended the $92M merger offer from Air Canada to the shareholders. The offer from Air Canada originally expired at 5pm on December 7, 1999, but Air Canada extended their offer until December 23, 1999. Air Canada officially took control of Canadian Airlines, pending government approval, on December 8, 1999. The Federal Competition Bureau cleared the way for the takeover on December 21, 1999 and Canadian Airlines officially became a subsidiary of Air Canada on December 23, 1999.

Canadian Airlines operated as a subsidiary company through most of 2000. In October 2000, all of Canadian Airlines' systems and employees became fully integrated. With both companies fully integrated, Air Canada began massive cuts to employees starting with the announcement that there would be 3500 cuts in the workforce on December 22, 2000. September 26, 2001 saw an additional 5000 cuts primarily driven from the worldwide impact to the travel sector caused by the 9/11 attacks.

At the time of merger, Canadian Airlines carried over 40% of the domestic share of passengers in Canada. Following the completion of the acquisition, Air Canada controlled over 90% of the domestic share of passengers, and dominated international and US-Canada transborder traffic.

Internet presence
Canadian Airlines has the distinction of being the first airline in the world to have a website on the Internet (www.cdnair.ca). The website was launched in April 1994 and is recognized in the Canadian Internet Handbook 1994 and 1995 editions. It was given recognition for not only being the first airline website in the world but also the first with transactional capabilities such as flight arrival/departure and fare information. At the time, this fact was widely reported by Canadian media including CBC Venture and Maclean's Magazine. The website was created and credited to Grant Fengstad who at the time was leading a strategy to demonstrate that the Internet was going to revolutionize the travel sector.

Livery
Upon its founding in 1987, Canadian Airlines revealed its new livery using the colours light grey, dark grey, navy blue, and red. The paint scheme was an adaptation of the recently introduced livery from predecessor Canadian Pacific Airlines. The lower half of the aircraft's body was navy blue, topped with light grey and red stripes, while the tail was blue, with approximately one third taken up by the carrier's new logo. The new Canadian Airlines logo was a combination of Canadian Pacific's five grey stripes, representing the five continents served by the carrier. Over these stripes was a thick, bright red chevron. The chevron was a simplification of the Pacific Western Airlines logo. The chevron was placed over the stripes, which then represented "Wings over 5 continents". It was also an ingenious and subtle way to represent the takeover of CP by PWA. The same logo, in a square form, became a clever alternative to a true bilingual name on the fuselage replacing the French "e", and the third "a" in English (Canadian/Canadien).

Canadian adopted a short-lived new livery in January 1999, less than a year before the airline was merged into Air Canada. The livery, known as "Proud Wings", featured a large Canada goose painted at the tail of the aircraft and the airline's name in a new Celeste font. This new font included a new chevron character, to again replace the French "e", and third "a" in English (Canadian/Canadien). The new livery, however, came so late that most of the fleet still retained the existing chevron livery by the time of the merger. Until the merger process with Air Canada was completed in 2001, most Canadian aircraft featured a transition livery with an Air Canada maple leaf on the tail while retaining the name "Canadian" on the fuselage.

Fleet
When Canadian Airlines International was acquired by Air Canada in 2001, its fleet contained these aircraft:

 * Boeing 737-200, 200-ELR and 200-Combi
 * Boeing 737-300 (leased only by CP Air at the time of merger, returned to lessor in the late 1980s)

Subsidiaries
Canadian Airlines' domestic network was broken down into five divisions:
 * Canadian Partner operated by Ontario Express served Ontario province.
 * Canadian Regional Airlines, which served 69 destinations in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, the Northwest Territories, Ontario, and the United States. Canadian Regional was 100 percent owned by Canadian Airlines. The predecessors of Canadian Regional were Time Air (which operated Canadian Partner service) and Ontario Express.
 * Calm Air which served 27 destinations in Manitoba, northwestern Ontario, and the Northwest Territories. Calm Air was 45 percent owned by Canadian Regional and continues to operate under separate management.
 * Inter-Canadien served Ottawa, Toronto, Labrador, and 26 destinations throughout Quebec. Inter-Canadien was 100 percent owned by Canadian Regional.
 * Air Atlantic, a regional partner of Canadian Airlines, served 16 destinations throughout the Atlantic provinces, Quebec, Ontario, and the United States.
 * Canadian North was a division of Canadian Airlines created to serve the northern regions. Canadian North had a network of 10 destinations that expanded from its southern bases of Edmonton and Winnipeg. Canadian North also had a commercial agreement with Aklak Air, an Inuit-owned and operated airline in the Northwest Territories. Canadian North was sold in 1998 to Norterra and continues to operate as an independent airline.

In addition to flight providers, Canadian Airlines operated the largest tour operator in Canada called Canadian Holidays and the Canadian Getaways program. The operator flew to destinations which included destinations throughout North and South America. Their freight operation, Canadian Air Cargo, provided general air cargo services in Canada and the United States.

Media appearances
In 1994, the Canadian Children's show Mighty Machines filmed one of their episodes (Mighty Machines at the Airport) at Toronto Pearson International Airport, starring a couple of Canadian Airlines jets (a McDonnell Douglas DC-10, a Boeing 737-200 and an Airbus A320) and several other of the carrier's vehicles.

In the 1996 film, Homeward Bound 2: Lost in San Francisco the family is flying to Canada on Canadian Airlines when the pets escape. The pets then chase after the Canadian Airlines jet and sit on the runway as the Canadian 737 takes off over their heads. During this scene many other Canadian Airlines planes are visible. The scene, while supposed to be at San Francisco International Airport, was actually filmed at the Abbotsford International Airport in Abbotsford, British Columbia.

Accidents and incidents
No fatalities occurred on Canadian Airlines International flights. There were only two major incidents:
 * On October 19, 1995, Canadian Airlines International Flight 17 rejected takeoff due to compressor stall and subsequently over-ran the end of the runway at Vancouver International Airport.
 * On September 6, 1997, Canadian Airlines International Flight 30 aborted takeoff after experiencing an engine fire at Beijing Capital International Airport.

It's been 32.74 days, but nobody's been able to explain the reversion of the above-detailed edit, so possibly it was just drive-by vandalism.

"Fort Rucker" vs. "Fort Rucker, Alabama"
I want to move this article back to "Fort Rucker". (A) It's a military base, not a town. The state name isn't part of its name. (B) The article was moved by cut&paste, losing the edit history. Comments? —wwoods 16:10, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Redstone Arsenal is not Redstone Arsenal, Alabama. I don't see why Fort Rucker is Fort Rucker, Alabama. --Anivron 16:58, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

 * The history of this article and many other "Fort" articles is that they began from an import of census place information which included the forts as a designated census place within each fort's respective state. If you look at the category Category:United States Army posts you'll see many other still listed with states just as Fort Rucker. Because the Census Bureau believes they are places as well as military installations, the current title is certainly correct from that viewpoint. However, you might bring up the discussion at WikiProject Military history for a consistent representation of US military base titles. AU Tiger ʃ talk /work 23:58, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Historical Importance
Why aren't there things in the article that allude to the historical importance of the city? This looks more like a census report!

Talk about the bombing, the boycotts, the emergence of King Jr.

There's a bigger more important role for Selma than just the numbers. But I'm a terrible writer, so if I do it it'll be ripped to pieces instantly.

--Duemellon 17:30, 10 Aug 2004 (UTC)

 * No, please do! We encourage people to be bold in editing. Best, [[User:Meelar|Meelar (talk)]] 17:35, 2004 Aug 10 (UTC)

The bombing was in Birmingham, and the bus boycott was in Montgomery - not in Selma. The only historical significance of Selma involving the Civil Rights Movement was the Selma to Montgomery March......CMS

After living in Selma for 5 years I seriously doubt that the above gun point incident happened. The people of Selma live and work together. There are a few vocal agitators on both sides of the aisle that stir up problems. These agitators do nothing to solve any problems and in fact gain personal wealth and fame by exploiting people's feelings and/or ignorance.

Selma's History does not begin or end with the Civil Rights Movement. Selma has a rich pre-civil war history that centered around commerce and trade, albiet this trade was based in part on the labor of slaves. The St. James Hotel which has been recently restored was a famous stop during the American Western push. Selma was established in 1820 and named after a book of poems. William Rufus King, a Vice President of the United States called Selma home and was one of the town's original organizers.

During the Civil War Selma served as the Arsenal of the South, second only to Richmond Virginia, with an extensive Complex of Iron Works, Foundries and other types of factories. The Confederate Naval Works were located on the Alabama River at Selma and the construction of the CSS Tennessee or Monitor was begun at Selma. The Battle of Selma occured in April of 1865, when Wilson's raiders raised parts of the town and destroyed all of the buildings of the Confederate Arsenal and Foundries.

The events of Bloody Sunday actually took place outside the city limits just over the Edmund Pettus Bridge. Alabama State Troopers clashed with Civil Rights Marchers. The march through the city of Selma was violence free, but given its close proximity to the momentous events the City is infamous for the event.

Craig Air Force base, located near Selma,was a pivotal training facility during World War II and was active until the mid-70's.

Selma is simply much more than a Civil Rights.

--

Civil rights, of course, translates to forced integration - specifically, blacks integrated into white male status environments. Vast majority of Americans prior to 1964 (white Christian males at that time), were in fact against the use of the federal legislative system to conduct what Sen. Barry Goldwater rightly called a "social engineering experiment". Still, white Christian males gave the black males what no other male group ever gave (gifted) to another people in all of human history:: integration rights into their status environments - and with NO QUID PRO QUO. It didn't stop there. White Christian males also gifted the black race complete access to THEIR living arrangements (their residential neighborhoods - again,with NO QUID PRO QUO)). TRULY AMAZING.

Of course, Wiki will never point out that white Christian people were not wronging the black race where and when they wanted (or demanded) a color line i.e. separate living/working arrangements. No constitutional rights were being denied the black race. Prior to 1964, in the mind of most white people, blacks, being a distinct people, were suppose to be separate from white people, so as to achieve self-reliance and a feeling of empowerment as a people. I thing it also deserves to be pointed out that at no time in American history was there ONE example where blacks sought out diversity (integration with white males) where and when they had an economic advantage. I wonder if wiki would EVER point that out in any of its articles on compulsory integration.

Also under the civil rights heading, I see that virtually ALL the white guilt conditioned-response words were used e.g. Jim Crow, KKK, white supremacy, etc. These words are used to make white people SUBMIT to the liberals and their guilt-tripping agenda. AGAIN, racial/ethnic group compulsory integration was not a US constitutional right. There were also no federal laws that existed from 1865 to 1964 requiring racial/ethnic integration (exception being Kennedy's executive order 10925).

The Selma to Montgomery march was encouraged by NBC, CBS & ABC, who had just went nationwide with their news in 1960. That is, the networks needed NEWS. Steven — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.248.126.50 (talk) 04:02, 26 June 2014 (UTC)

Yes, yes — you have not yet told us whether you believe in forced *segregation*, buses, lunch counters and what not, mandated by law regardless of what the owners wanted. Goldwater did not, that was why he supported the previous two civil rights bills in the Senate (opposed by LBJ). He bailed on the ‘64 bill because of the force elements in it, this time for integration, rather than segregation. 31.74.17.9 (talk) 17:24, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

-

I have my doubts as to the validity of the gunpoint incident. I lived in Selma for 23 years (including the period of time that this incident supposedly happened - would love to know the location of said incident). I actually had to laugh out loud over how comical that claim is when I read it. Selma is rich in history, both relating to the Civil War and the Civil Rights Movement, as well as a wide variety of other claims. Aside from that, it is typical small-town America. Growing up in the area, you are taught of it's rich history, both thru school and first-hand accounts from family members, neighbors, and friends. I always had the impression that Selma had a huge impact on US history as a whole, but after leaving Selma, I was absolutely AMAZED at the number of people - young and old - who had never even heard of the place....CMS

IMANON - you are doing a great job with the site. Very accurate on all accounts...CMS

Wondering if the Battle of Selma, as informative and extensive as it is, should be moved to the "Battle of Selma" page, with a concurrent and very moderated summary remaining on the Selma page??
 * Yeah, the bulk (maybe 90%) of the battle information should be moved to the main article on the battle. 128.158.14.42 22:31, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

 * I concur. We need something of Selma's history from the end of the Civil War to the beginning of the Civil Rights Movement also. Selma remained a successful city after the war. Additionally, it currently does not address Selma's progress since 1965.  I grew up near and attended school in Selma, there's a wealth of information that could still be added, just from internet sources. I worked on the Mobile, Alabama article for 3 months and got it to GA status, if anyone wants my help here, I'm available, just let me know.  I won't step on toes otherwise.  Currently working to improve the Cahaba, Alabama article from a stub into something better.   Altairisfar talk  01:32, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Map
I removed that huge Alabama map that was overlapping the text and was not specific to Selma- the one that had a caption about the location of Selma and mentioned the Selma to Montgomery march, but did not really illustrate either.  Altairisfar talk  01:32, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Joseph T. Smitherman
I just noted that Mayor Smitherman does not have an article. He probably should have one, as he was an important figure in the city's history. - Parsa (talk) 16:02, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

An interesting entry and worthy of a separate article, but how does it relate specifically to the history of Selma? I've slashed it down to retain the original article focus.Wkharrisjr (talk) 14:35, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

Serious duplication
The section on the Civil War era appears to largely duplicate the content of a separate article: Selma,_Alabama_in_the_American_Civil_War. If someone has time to make sure nothing essential would be eliminated, it would probably be for the best to edit the section down to a paragraph or two and link to the other article for more details.

After having a few days to think about it, the section needs to be largely removed. It is about a single-store retail business, and therefore has issues with both WP:NOTADVERTISING and WP:NOTE. I did find a single Wiki quality source naming it as the largest furniture store in Alabama, adn it appears to possibly merit a passing reference in the article. The family history, and that of the store, does not meet WP:NOTE standards. As I added a "local attractions" section, I gave the store a sourced reference there, and a link.

redirect from Tallahassee
Why does the page Tallahassee redirect here and not to Tallahassee, Florida? I would have thought that the Florida capital would be more important (or at least have a Disambig page). Witty lama 05:15, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Burned to the ground?
I was there the morning after the fire. The hotel didn't "burn to the ground". That implies that there is nothing left and that's simply not true. The back end of the Hotel Talisi was destroyed and all the windows were broken-out, but most of the hotel was still standing. Check yo facts, g-money! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.143.95.240 (talk) 09:01, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

Problems with History section
There are numerous issues with the History section, which lacks any citations at all. It gives a folkloric account of the Creek Indian past, including the made-up term "White Stick" and the discredited idea that Red Stick rebels were mostly from the Upper towns. The section also assumes that the Creek town of Talisi is identical with the city of Tallassee. This is almost certainly not true, and must be proved, not just asserted. As with Tuskegee, Sylacauga, and other Alabama towns, the name of a destroyed Creek town was usually assigned to a new town established on a different site by white settlers — usually many miles from the Creek namesake. — ℜob C. alias ÀLAROB  20:31, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

Inclusion of "Cat ladies" content
The content keeps getting removed, but I have not seen an argument for removing it other than "vandalism", which is clearly not a relevant argument (see What is not vandalism). It's sourced from two secondary sources (Montgomery Advertiser, Alabama Political Reporter).

Attalla - First City to Have Electric Street Lights
This has been taken from http://www.cityofattalla.com/html/history.shtml without any reference. It was just copy and pasted. This article needs to explain something that happened between 1941 and today. Can someone cut this article in half and expand on currrent affairs? Most of the article is just fat and drab comments about nothing. Let's focus on this cities accomplishments. I honestly didn't know that this sleepy Alabama city was the first to have electric street lights. I'm sure more people will find that interesting. Binarypower 19:17, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Boaz, Alabama

Wondering how to edit this U.S. City Entry? The WikiProject U.S. Cities standards might help.

Boaz, AL
Boaz is not located in Etowah County. It's located in Marshall County and the county seat is located in Guntersville, AL, not Gadsden.

Boaz is located partially in Etowah County, Alabama. The county seat for the Etowah County portion is Gadsden. The county seat for the Marshal County portion is in Guntersville. It is not uncommon for cities in Alabama to straddle county lines.

Boaz Alabama Police Incident
don't hide the truth. just because you wish it hadn't happened doesn't make it untrue. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.8.42.154 (talk • contribs) 22:45, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

I have not ever heard about this incident, nor do I live in the United States, so I do not care about hiding anything. It is a Wikipedia guideline. See WP:good_faith. However, you provided information that was not sourced in any way. For that reason it was removed. You've readded it now, but the information you've added now is a breach of copyright and is therefore a violation of Wikipedia guidelines. Please see Copyrights for more information. I have therefore deleted it, again. Additionally, it's hard to see if the information belongs in the Boaz, Alabama entry. It would be a good idea to discuss such an addition on the talk page, perhaps.

To other wikipedians, do you think the incident described in http://birmingham.fbi.gov/history.htm is notable and belongs in an entry such as this? I have little perspective on US issues. Frank Quist 23:42, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

I must agree with the user this incident is important. With the long history of civil right violations in Alabama it is extremly important for people to know what is going on. I say let it stay it is factual and relevant.

Fair use rationale for Image:BoazSeal.jpg
Image:BoazSeal.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

"Notable" People From Gadsden
I haven't heard of half these people, and few of them come up readily when google-searched. If they're not notable enough to have their own wiki pages, what makes them notable enough to be listed in this article?inalabama they have lesbeins and others Yelawolf who is a caucasian rap artist, was born and raised in Gadsen Ala. He does have his own Wikipedia page.
