Also odd that I can buy a discounted F ticket on UA.com on a UA code-share on AC metal (LAX/LAS to/from YYZ/YUL) for less than 1/2 the price of the same J class seat on the same AC flight.

But we are talking about an airline whose IT department hasn't been able to get a moving map to function on most planes for a couple of years.
