AC gets a lot of undeserved hate. They're better than all the US airlines, without exception and they're on par with a lot of continental European airlines. Much better than BA. There's things they could do better for sure, but onboard service, seats, lounges, ground staff - all solid. Huge improvements to Aeroplan after they bought it back.

After a lot of bouncing around the US it's a treat to fly. I feel like hating on them is something of a Canadian pastime.

Reverse Anecdote: I've had a lot of bad experiences w/ AC, though they generally do better than AA or Delta.

I'll also give AC credit: they have to fly a lot of not great routes as a national mandate, and that means cutting corners to make things profitable; the challenges of flag carriers, etc. etc.
