CP Air flies new colors

by Michael Kelly

An atmosphere of an-
ticipation filled the
cavernous CP Aijir
hangar at Vancouver In-
ternational Airport on
Jan. 13 as hundreds of
airline employees and
media representatives
from across Canada
awaited revelation of the
company’s “new direc-
tions’’ image.

CP Air president Don
Carty spoke to the crowd
at length about the
airline’s desire to update
public perception of it as
a “truly national airline,
from Newfoundland to
British Columbia.”

In these remarks he
was referring to CP Air’s
recent acquisition of
controlling interest in
Eastern Provincial Ajir-
lines, a large maritime
carrier, and Nordair
which serves Quebec and
Ontario.

Carty said that this
new expansion of the CP
Air system ‘'‘finally com-
pletes the process of
developing a_ national
airline that, for the first
time, presents to the
travelling public a real
and viable alternative.”

Carty went on to ex-
plain, ‘The new image
meets our requirement to
be visually distinctive in
our expanding global
market. We feel it also
will be appealing to the
travelling public which, I
am proud to say, regards
us as a friendly and
highly professional air-
line.’’

He concluded his
speech by shouting,
“Let's roll in the air-
craft.”

The door rolled aside
to reveal the immense
bulk of a wide-body
DC-10 intercontinental

jet parked on the ramp,
freshly painted in colors
as unlike the old CP Air
look as could be imagin-
ed.
Gone was the eye-
shattering international-
safety orange, replaced
by a discreet. and dig-
nified combination of
Pacific blue on the
tailplane and lower fusel-
age, and sky-white on
the upper fuselage. The
two main colors were
separated by a thin red
stripe running the length
of the airplane.

Also absent was the
breezy CP Air abbrev-
iation,, abandoned in
favor of the company’s
pre-60s designation,
Canadian Pacific.

The familiar triangle-
and-cresent logo was re-
tained, but modified into
a banner-like figure with
five stripes flowing out
the width of the tail.

The new logo, colors
and the Canadian Pacific
name will eventually be
extended throughout the
entire corporate system,
including Canadian Pa-
cific hotels, railway lines
and steamships.

The aircraft was towed
into the hangar, and,
after being photograph-
ed, videotaped and in-
spected by the crowd, the
DC-10 was anointed with
champagne and christen-
ed Empress of Canada.

At a press conference
following the ceremony,
Carty stated, ‘The in-
cremental cost [of chang-
ing the new look] will not
be tremendous.”

He explained that re-
maining aircraft in the
fleet will be painted with
the company’s new de-
sign in accordance with
standard maintenance
schedules.

This principle will also
apply to every other ele-
ment of Canadian Pacif-
ic’s business, from sta-
tionery and boarding
passes to ground-hand-
ling equipment and
building signs. Carty ex-
pects the entire process
to be complete within
three years.

He also announced
that the three Boeing 747
aircraft presently
operated by Canadian
Pacific will be sold and
replaced with McDon-
nell-Douglas DC-10
trimotor jets,

He claimed that by
limiting the company’s
fleet to two aircraft types
(the DC-10 and the
B-737), maintenance
procedures can be
streamlined and greater
frequency of service of-
fered on some domestic
and international sched-
ules.

By the end of 1986,
Canadian Pacific’s fleet
will consist of 12 DC-10s
and 25 B-737s,

With regard to the
airline’s international
operations, Carty said
direct Vancouver and
mainland China may
become a reality in the
near future,

Much of the discus-
sion centered around the
effects of airline deregu-
lation in Canada. Carty
asserted the Canadian in-
dustry has benefitted
from observing several
years of deregulation in
the U.S.

‘*There were some ab-
solutely crazy things
done down there,’’ he
said, implying similar
crazy things would not
be done up here.

Carty pegged Cana-
dian Pacific’s present
share of the Canadian

market at slightly over 25
percent, and stated

Waterland resigns

B.C, Forest Minister
Tom Waterland resigned
Friday, Jan. 17, over an
apparent conflict of in-
terest linked to the Lyell
Island controversy,

Waterland announced
his resignation while
speaking to a Vancouver
Truck Loggers’ conven-
tion.

The issue was $20,000
worth of shares he
bought about two anda
half years ago in Western
Pulp Partnership (WPP).

WPP is slated to pro-
cess some of the trees set
to be logged on Lyell
Island.

At press time there
was no indication who
would replace Waterland
in the forest portfolio.

Skeena MLA and
NDP Forest Critic Frank
Howard said it did not
matter how long Water-
land held the WPP
shares, the minister is the
person who issues all the

tree farming and logging
licences in the province.

Howard said the resig-
nation will have no
automatic effect on the
Lyell Island controversy
although, he added,
‘another minister may ask
for time to review that
situation.

Howard added each
minister has an acting
minister who could take
over the duties, or
Premier Bennett could
opt to add the forestry
portfolio to a minister
already in cabinet.
