No issue...it was more of an off-the-cheek comment. It is what it is, and was also before I was so kindly educated by the other members on this thread on Air Canada's stinginess when it comes to at-the-gate upgrades. No big deal. Now I know not to be disappointed to not get upgraded at the gate, and now I know to not be surprised to see employees sitting up at the front of the plane. That's all.
