We have lost nearly all of our select benefits earned in 2025 for the 2026 benefit year and have to re-earn them again in the 2026 qualification year.

Personally I think the transition from the old plan to the new plan is unfair but only to the point that the goodwill that I felt towards Air Canada has been materially diminished and not to the point where I will stop flying with them before I reach my variable, annual SQC targets.

Beyond my SQC targets, my decisions will be economic and not loyalty based as they have demonstrated that loyalty is a one way street by their behaviour and the structure of the Head Start vs Rollover.
