This sort of thing seems to happen all too often. There are lots of similar stories in the Aeroplan threads, especially with flight changes on *A airlines other than AC. Is the ticketing process really that convoluted and arcane? We complain a lot about AC IT systems, but this makes it look like the entire industry has completely fubar'd IT.

(SFW version of fubar = fouled up beyond all recognition)
