You need to know:
at YHZ AGM 2002…
Someone (and I didn't take note of the name) asked me why CIBC does not
offer
the Aerogold credit card to AC retirees at the same discounted rate as
offered
to active AC employees. I called CIBC and they told me that this special
rate
is only offered to active employees of both CIBC and AC. This rate is NOT
offered to CIBC retirees and therefore it would not be appropriate to give
this special rate to AC retirees. Duane.

JETSGO: NEW NO-FRILLS AIRLINE COMING
