I actually believe AC could return to the level CP had established for domestic J-class since AC would now have the volume of paying customers to sustain the marginally higher cost it would entail. As I noted elsewhere last week, CP just never was able to get the number of paying customers up front above the threshold to make it pay. And as correctly noted above, it ended up upgrading too many of us who were not paying that full price.

While watching the Sunday morning U.S. political talk shows on CNN and elsewhere, there was a recurring story: how bad airline service has gotten and what problems weather delays had been causing this past month. (Not to mention UA having to cancel hundreds of flights over the past several days as pilots -- also negotiating a new contract -- refused to work overtime.) Could have been about Canada from the sound of things, but they were definitely referring to their own situation below the border.

By the way, welcome back home AC*SE, now that you've made the move from NYC to YVR.
