1) so you do keep track of what you did 3 years ago. congrats....you are a better person then me...get away with it....the fact remains that there is a ducdtion my statment FOR AROUND THAT PERIOD WITH A SHORT HAUL FLIGHT so i did ask for a complete list. and did investigate.

2) the reaosn they are losing money is labour costs and fuel charges. Trying to make it back on the backs of its most loyal customers is very short sited. it drives those same custoimers to low cost alternatives (westjet,air trans etc.) and by the way two wrongs don't make it right... you seem to forget that this was a loyality program... i find it interesting that you and AC seem to have foprgotten that. NOTE and i am not your friend

Look in the mirror pal for the real definition of shortsightedness
sure... look they are not that many alternatives? Jetsgo is gone and as a buissness person i need more then one flight out a day to a location for flexability. AC has a tight rein on many locations to say the least. As for childish behaviour... It seems that customer serivce is lost on AC. I remeber the days when we called in and the agnet try to fullfill a request. Sometimes they could not but at least they tried. Now adays the agents don't even bother.... I am GLAD that you like the new system where people are treated so... I don't. i beleive that a customer should be treated like you yourself would wanted to be treated. And in that way one can only benefit from increased customer loyality



AS FOR YOUR LAST RUDE REMARK I WILL NOT COMMENT FURTHER ON THAT.
