Nice read, and i did read it all the way to the bottom. Sure, i could have complained it was OT and really wasn't about Air Canada - though you did a good job with the upgrade re-qualification story - but the fact is that you obviously put in a lengthy part of the flight in composing this and that kind of commitment to this forum and to FlyerTalk is certainly worth noticing.

It would appear you and i have much in common - we both understand that there are far more people on FlyerTalk than ourselves. That what one member is interested in does not make all other interests invalid. Thanks for the well-written observation, I enjoyed your POV and look forward to continuing our contributions of what in the past, has helped grow to make FlyerTalk unique and worthy of our attention.

In this case, I elected to edit following posts to the thread as they got off topic pretty quick. This member started this thread sort of as an op-ed and i think we owe it to him to respect that.
