Then I saw http://www.cbc.ca/beta/news/canada/n...lict-1.4115596 which looked very familiar.

Is there a trend where AC is trying to get more money by cancelling tickets last minute and forcing the much higher rate at the airport? In both incidents I mentioned above, they didn't get a e-mail, flight showed as active (a friend even forwarded me the flight info via their site after it happened)
Did they find out when they tried to check in online but were unable to?
