thank you 250x206 Air Canada photographer, Brian Losito, has decided to retire after an extremely productive 36 year career.

If we may be a little self-indulgent, we believe that The NetLetter has had a very special relationship with Brian over the years.

Frequent contributor, Monika Hilson, has posted a series of podcasts chronicling her many years as a flight attendant.

Hello I'm Monika. I was a flight attendant based in Canada for 38 years. I circumnavigated forty countries, and even more cities around the world. It is interesting how they all varied in manners, customs, and lifestyles.

Join me here for lots of juicy stories about working and playing in these countries. Hopefully you will enjoy my experiences as much as I did.

ZIP Revisited

I first wrote about my memories of ZIP back in 2019, NetLetter #1414. During our NetLetter team ZOOM session a few weeks ago, we once again got into a bit of a discussion on how much fun the liveries were. They seem to be forever engraved in our memories.

While browsing through our library of internal magazines, I came upon a few pictures in a PDF document photo history of Canadian Airlines including photos up until the merger. Still fun memories.

Below is a small sampling of the 20 aircraft listed in the historic ZIP fleet with a brief description of their current status.
