AC 882 last Friday night. The flight left the gate and returned to the gate with a mechanical problem. According to my wife, AC asked the passengers to stay in the IFT, handed out snacks and blankets, and loaded everyone back on a new aircraft the next morning, 10.5 hours late. On arrival at CDG, they each got a credit for $100 on a future AC ticket.
