I personally find *A completely useless. If it were marginally integrated, we should be able to remain airside in YVR on an IST - YYJ *A trip rather than having to deal with a landside sojourn, especially as our TK flight was delayed by an hour due to an IFE reboot issue which made the connection tight.
I had relatives flying in the same situation. It was AC to TK with AC on a domestic sector. After raising this issue the check in agent said it cannot be done and I requested to speak with the supervisor who came and told her how to do it. I simply think they have no idea how to do it.
