Olympic Airlines departs Canada for the last time

The final departure of OAL424 from Montreal (YUL) on its way back to Athens for the last time. Sad to see the Rings leaving us.

OAL424 was flown by SX-DFB Airbus A340-300, departing on Runway 24R.

Hello greek haters......Stop talking all this shit about Greece.

[am1966ath]

@sakusia the worst thing about them is that they don t take responsibility for anything, everybody else is to blame..unfortunately they are also dishonest(the worst being friends and family)...

[sakusia]

Respond to this video... the bottom line is I can't stand my own people anymore anybody but them anybody. I m sick and tired of their behaviour, their god dam strikes, their overpriced clothing and luxury goods, and their stupid tiring traditions.

@am1966ath wow you've been to Denmark? you don't know how bad i want to go somewhere that is civilized. My dream has always been to go to Iceland. I think there's something very peaceful about it and beautiful too. You know what the problem is though? i don't want to see Greeks at all. If i do that will spoil my vacation almost immediately. The problem is a lot of these newly rich Greeks are travelling abroad to places like Iceland and Thailand and Singapore to show off basically not to learn.

@sakusia Dennmark is a another potatoe altogether, they have very high taxes which they pay, the greecs dont care to pay taxes( the wealthy ones) and the dannes have made a enjoyable environment for tourism, tasty food,nice shopping and very friendly people employed in the service sectors...the greecs nedeed 30years to build a new airport in Athens, the old one was outdated in 1975 and had a lot more flights than the new one. Social order don t fit the greecs, they are to selfish.

@am1966ath if by birth not by choice. I have also lived outside for most of my life and im experiencing HELLasss for the last 5 years, so i still tend to view things from a foreign perspective like yourself. Greece could have been a social paradise i mean hell look at Denmark they have the same population( nearly 10 million i believe) yet they are way ahead in terms of social standards, and technology. But then again they are Danes not Greeks and they have a collective positive mindset.

@am1966ath Yes but your comparing apples to oranges here. In 1986( ah just love the way that sounds 80's in general were good times) Singapore and Japan were way ahead of Greece in all aspects of life, be it GDP, manufacturing,health care. So its really unfair to compare Greece to Japan and Singapore of the 1980's,they were at their economic peak back then.Greece had something going back then ( standard of living was improving) but i believe that's when the corruption planted its first seeds.

@sakusia you are right, the 340 connected vital greec diasporas in New York,Johannesburg,Montreal and Melbourne..fly to Paris or Gatwick is no match,easyjet or Ryanair or even BA can drive them out of the skies anyday...they couldn t compoete even in Australia even after driving out QANTAS from Athens in 1989....such a huge diaspora in Melbourne and Australia flights unprofitable, probably because of corruption and missmanagement.

[am1966ath]

@sakusia The greeks have a whole mythology of foreign conspiracies to blame for everything, catastrophic indeptness,massive un-checked 3rd world immigration and a tourism industry dying because of non-existant service and very high prices.

I understand that you are greek, Im not but have a 40years relationship with this nation which I wish I didn t have.....its not my cup of tea.

[am1966ath]

@sakusia I would say 30years, the old Hellenikon airport in Athens used to look like a refugee camp in summer time with all the lowlife-cheap-tourists..I was so amazed when I went to Singapore in 1986 to see japanese tourists, stasying in 5star hotels,shopping in elegant department stores and dining 5star..for me whos family had the missfortune to have a summer house in Greece, tourism in Greece was a filthy odysee, now Greece is more expensive than Bangkok and Bali and the level of service is 0
