So you appear to be in the same situation the fellow from Winnipeg was in: consolidating expired MCOs into new ones with longer validities than intended when they were issued. That certainly is a lightening rod in view of the CTC decision.

As to not having the original ticket receipt [since it would have been attached to the reissued tickets], I can somewhat accept your explanation. But I would have expected you can bring those receipts along too, removing them from the reissued tickets. Unless you have disposed of them, which would not be a wise thing given Revenue Canada's 5-year receipt rule.

To me, it sounds like you have been taking advantage of extending the life of these MCOs by rolling them over, which may have been done for you as a courtesy -- as it was for the fellow in Winnipeg -- but which is not permitted under the rules. You know their validity is for one year from date of issue, as are airline tickets. You travel enough to have used them on other flights within the period of validity. I appears you got yourself into this mess playing loose with the rules.

I suggest you also write the CTC as well as the others on your list. You may be barred sooner than you think

I do disagree with AC's policy of not having an employee wear a name tag, or provide their name to a customer. If this is indeed a policy or just a practice.

By the way, you never did mention the result of your suit -- to the Human Rights Commission? -- on the last matter. Or is it still before the court or tribunal?

Again, I do not wish to try, but you have raised the matter...
