I cringe and shake my head when I see those signs at YVR.

So you are stuck if you are a domestic work flyer.
Exactly. While there is a choice in WestJet, I don't know anyone personally who flies WS for business. They simply don't have the network to compete with AC outside of Canada (No alliance; partnership with DL isn't enough). And don't get me started on their FF program. I had WS Gold for 1 year via a AA status match and it was a total joke.

Haha. Guess I haven't given it too much though either. Never thought about quicksand though.

Ouch. You'll be in AC Rouge. Unqualified college dropout flight attendants aside, I'm a smaller guy and it's pretty much the only plane I've flown on where I had zero leg room.
