I was under the impression Z class fares earned aeroplan mileage based on the package purchased through AC Vacations as follows:
"Earn 1500 Aeroplan Miles with every air & cruise package, 1000 Aeroplan Miles with every air & hotel package and 500 Aeroplan Miles with every air & car package that you reserve with us."
Has this been changed recently?

The mileage mentioned above is a bonus for booking with ACV and not for putting your butt in the seat. If the mileage were accrued in the Z fare, it would be based on distance flown.
The mileage is also paid to Aeroplan from ACV's account, rather than AC. Any travel agent could do the same thing (i.e. offer 1000 non status miles for booking a Z fare to Europe).
