Without wishing to pry into others' financial affairs or spending habits, I am a bit curious to hear the AC forum's answers to the following question :

How often do you fly in paid domestic J on AC ? Not an upgrade, not an award, not the domestic leg of an international J itinerary, but a plain point-to-point Executive class fare within Canada (or North America).

For my part I haven't done so since January, though I've been sat up front often enough since then. The small but noticeable deteriorations in domestic J service (refurbished planes notwithstanding ) in that period are making it less likely that I will bother to pay for it in the future.
