So, here's the thing: obviously my "edits" were meant to be humorous and entertaining, and I generally tend to align my opinions more closely with Hanlon's Razor than conspiracy theorists. But this whole situation irks me to no end.

Of course I don't like paying more for something than I have to. I'd rather fly YUL-ZRH-CDG on LX without YQ, for instance, rather than YUL-CDG on AC with high YQ. Naturally. Who wouldn't?

But this whole "separate issues related to the different inventory systems of the concerned airlines" excuse really, really, really upsets me. I'll stop short of calling anyone a liar -- because I genuinely have no idea what the real problem is -- but it comes across intentionally vague and with a hint of deception. If the problem is indeed with inventory systems, then their statement should include an explanation why Aeroplan, acting as a travel agent, cannot simply call the reservations team at one of the affected airlines and book an otherwise available award that way.

Far be it for me to be cynical, but I wonder what'll happen first: these "separate issues" will be resolved or TK will be hit by a new, separate issue.
