While we are all amused that we can buy brightly-colored inflatables to improve our comfort against the increasing odds of "park bench stay-flats", there are many things AC could do and should have done, not the least of which are things some of us have posted already:

1. FIX. THE. SEAT.

2. Send personal communications from an executive to those who are either SE, MM, and/or who have clearly spent a fortune flying in these things. AC knows exactly which flights we have been on and of course knows our deflate histories, or they should. It should absolutely go to this group. It does not have to be a public statement. No one here that I know of, is going to call the CBC / Radio Canada or Global.

3. FIX. THE. SEAT.

4. AC needs to recognize that some have already shifted spend away from AC. It may be pennies right now, but it may have an effect at some point assuming others who are not on FT start to realize that despite their cheap $USD tickets, they are sitting in the same deflated seats as those of us who been at this rodeo for a while.

......feel better now

Awaiting more reports from the field from those who are "Flying with Inflatables" (need to trademark that, lol)
