That may sound a bit harsh, but put in the bum-in-seat time and you'll find it's perfectly accurate.
Your rule number one applies to every airline, just not AC. Correction, your rule number one, actual applies about everything in life. I would only rely on flight attendant info if they are reading my fight info from the print out sent to the cockpit directly from AC operations.
