Editor's recommendation:

Cabin crew attentive and willing to help at all times. Very comfortable seating in Economy class. Food better than average airline meals. Should be your first choice airline when  travelling to/from/in Canada , but as a result of the merger with Air Canada, the option may now be short lived. Grab the opportunity while you can!
