1. AC122 YYC-YYZ
2. June 9, 8:10AM scheduled
3. N/A, OLCI
4. They were enforcing it with vigour this morning! Catching people in all lines including NEXUS and AC priority. Had my bag sized and tagged. First time in the 11 flights I've done since the crackdown started.
5. NEXUS
6. 2 carry-ons, a Tumi Alpha 2 International and an Ogio briefcase. Tumi is nominally 0.25-0.5" too tall, but it fit in the sizer.
7. SE
8. J
9. Originating
10. A319

1. AC716 YYZ-LGA
2. June 9, 3:15PM scheduled
3. N/A, OLCI
4. Didn't see the sizer or an agent at the TB security, maybe they've moved it since 2 weeks ago or I just missed it.
5. NEXUS
6-8. As above
9. Connecting from YYC
10. E90

None of the GAs seems to be looking for the red tags, so I'm not sure those serve a ton of value.

That being said, I'm pretty sure every flight I've had since the crackdown has boarded on time and boarding has definitely been faster. Pushbacks have generally been early to on time. Anecdotal, I know, but my experience seems to line up with the improved OTP figures we're hearing from Ben L and others.
