Maybe we missed the point of all of this:

Perhaps AC only wants to fill the planes with seats that are paid for with actual dollars, not our Aeroplan miles and eUpgrades, which are a different currency.

We may believe that the miles we earned flying in those paid seats is worth something. With AP (AC) now having such large increases in miles needed, your miles in "the bank" are technically worth less as you now have to use more of them to buy the same flights.

I recall having some conversations a number of months ago where I said that although Aeroplan miles are not bananas and won't "go bad" anytime soon, they are not going to be worth more next year.

I am sure many of you thought the same thing. So here we are.
