Now I'm reminded of something else......on certain passenger trains, most notably VIA's LRC and HEP-2 coaches, (and on Japanese bullet trains) they have airline-style overhead bins......VIA doesn't talk about "coach", but rather "economy" class....and on France's TGVs, the driver of said highspeed train is officially a "pilote." I'm wondering, any case where the reverse happens....train like things on planes? Well I heard that some Texas airline used to have its seats arranged like some commuter trains, with many facing each other (this changed when they started flying outside of Texas)....and I wonder, did they ever experiment (quite terribly, I'd imagine) with rail-style luggage racks? <br /> <br />weid factoids.....until 1977, Air Canada was technically part of CN......and what ended up as Canadian was a merger between Ward Air and Canadian Pacific Air (so the Canadian rail wars also took place in the air)....and their two letter code was CP....and their symbol was based on CP's "Pacman" (apparently there was a time when CP had flight attendants also working as "rail attendants") <br /> <br />~Ra'akone
