You win some you lose some, it's part of the game but really suing Aeroplan? That seems like a mighty big stretch.

Crap like this just seems to encourage more restrictive rules and practices in the future, that wind up impacting everyone for the worse, even if indirectly. You have to pick your battles, and this isn't one I would choose. However this blogger seems to see everything as a battle.

If this were a simple case of availability suddenly showing up on a route/carrier that is supposed to be bookable, but just rarely has availability...and then the carrier renegs, then fighting it might make sense (but not to the point of a lawsuit IMHO). But the Aeroplan award chart is pretty clear that you can't redeem for LX F...and he knows it. It's bad karma to be making such a stink about this IMHO.
